27In that regard, it should be borne in mind that it follows from recitals 9 and 10 of Directive 2001/29 that the latter’s objective is to establish a high level of protection for authors, allowing them to obtain an appropriate reward for the use of their works, including on the occasion of communication to the public. It follows that ‘communication to the public’ must be interpreted broadly, as recital 23 of the directive indeed expressly states (judgments of 31 May 2016, Reha Training, C‑117/15, EU:C:2016:379, paragraph 36, and of 8 September 2016, GS Media, C‑160/15, EU:C:2016:644, paragraph 30 and the case-law cited).
