Ineffective investigation into making a book available for illegal download breaches copyright holder’s right to property, rules the European Court of Human Rights

Abstract

The European Court of Human Rights continues to establish breaches of copyright holders’ (human) right to property. This time, in a judgment from January 2023, the Court held that a protracted and ineffective investigation in respect of making the applicant’s book available for illegal download on the internet was in breach of the State’s positive obligation to protect intellectual property.
