44In this respect, it must be observed that the downloading of a copy of a computer program and the conclusion of a user licence agreement for that copy form an indivisible whole. Downloading a copy of a computer program is pointless if the copy cannot be used by its possessor. Those two operations must therefore be examined as a whole for the purposes of their legal classification (see, by analogy, Joined Cases C-145/08 and C-149/08 Club Hotel Loutraki and Others [2010] ECR I-4165, paragraphs 48 and 49 and the case-law cited).
