Judgment_paragraph 46 · Blue Air Aviation SA v UCMR – ADA Asociaţia pentru Drepturi de Autor a Compozitorilor and Uniunea Producătorilor de Fonograme din România (UPFR) v Societatea Naţională de Transport Feroviar de Călători (SNTFC) 'CFR Călători' SA (C-775/21)

46In that regard, the Court has recalled that that concept must, as stated in recital 23 of Directive 2001/29, be understood in a broad sense, covering all communication to the public not present at the place where the communication originates and, thus, any such transmission or retransmission of a work to the public by wire or wireless means, including broadcasting. It is, indeed, clear from recitals 4, 9 and 10 of that directive that the principal objective of the directive is to establish a high level of protection of authors, allowing them to obtain an appropriate reward for the use of their work, including when a communication to the public takes place (judgment of 22 June 2021, YouTube and Cyando, C‑682/18 and C‑683/18, EU:C:2021:503, paragraph 63 and the case-law cited).
