Court of Justice of the European Union, Case C-264/19, Constantin Film Verleih GmbH v YouTube LLC and Google Inc., EU:C:2020:542, 9 July 2020

Agreeing with the Opinion of Advocate General Saugmandsgaard Øe in the same case (EU:C:2020:261), the Court of Justice of the European Union has ruled that the notion of ‘address’ in Article 8(2)(a) of the Enforcement Directive 2004/48 is limited to one’s own postal address, and does not include one’s own email and IP address or telephone number. However, since the Enforcement Directive is a measure of minimum harmonization, individual Member States are entitled to grant more extensive protection.
