Judgment_paragraph 32 · Gesellschaft für musikalische Aufführungs- und mechanische Vervielfältigungsrechte eV (GEMA) v GL (C-135/23)

32Although it is for the national court to determine, in the light of the considerations set out in paragraphs 19 to 30 above, whether a building operator such as that at issue in the main proceedings carries out an act of ‘communication to the public’, within the meaning of Article 3(1) of Directive 2001/29 (see, to that effect, judgment of 15 March 2012, Phonographic Performance (Ireland), C‑162/10, EU:C:2012:141, paragraph 39), it is appropriate for the Court to provide some useful indications in that regard to enable the referring court to decide the case before it (see, to that effect, judgment of 5 May 2022, BV, C‑570/20, EU:C:2022:348, paragraph 44).
