50Furthermore, the Court has held that it is relevant that a communication to the public, within the meaning of Article 3(1) of Directive 2001/29, is of a profit-making nature (judgment of 8 September 2016, GS Media, C‑160/15, EU:C:2016:644, paragraph 38 and the case-law cited). However, it has acknowledged that a profit-making nature is not necessarily an essential condition for the existence of a communication to the public (judgments of 7 March 2013, ITV Broadcasting and Others, C‑607/11, EU:C:2013:147, paragraph 42 and the case-law cited, and of 31 May 2016, Reha Training, C‑117/15, EU:C:2016:379, paragraph 49).
