43It is apparent from recital 20 in the preamble that Directive 2001/29 is based on the principles and rules already laid down in the directives in force in this area, inter alia Directive 92/100 on rental right and lending right (now Directive 2006/115) and Directive 93/98 harmonising the term of protection of copyright (now Directive 2006/116). It is stated that Directive 2001/29 develops those principles and rules and places them in the context of the information society. Accordingly, the provisions of Directive 2001/29 should be without prejudice to the provisions of those two directives, unless otherwise provided in Directive 2001/29 (see, to this effect, Joined Cases C-403/08 and C-429/08 Football Association Premier League and Others [2011] ECR I-9083, paragraphs 187 and 188).
