Judgment_paragraph 63 · Recorded Artists Actors Performers Ltd v Phonographic Performance (Ireland) Ltd and Others (C-265/19)

63First, under Article 15(1) of the WPPT, the contracting parties thereto must confer on performers and phonogram producers the right to a single equitable remuneration where phonograms published for commercial purposes are used for broadcasting or for any communication to the public. As the Advocate General has, in essence, observed in points 72 and 73 of his Opinion, when the WPPT entered into force for the European Union, that is to say, on 14 March 2010, that obligation had already been transposed into EU law by Article 8(2) of Directive 2006/115, which replaced without amendment Article 8(2) of Directive 92/100.
