Judgment_paragraph 28 · Stichting de Thuiskopie v Opus Supplies Deutschland GmbH and Others (C-462/09)

28The Court has again pointed out that, since that system enables the persons responsible for payment to pass on the amount of the private copying levy in the price charged for making the reproduction equipment, devices and media available, or in the price for the copying service supplied, the burden of the levy will ultimately be borne by the private user who pays that price, in a way consistent with the ‘fair balance’ between the interests of authors and those of the users of the protected subject-matter (Padawan, paragraphs 48 and 49).
