Prevention Obligation of File-Sharing Host

BGH I ZR 80/12


The German Federal Court has previously ruled that a file-sharing host is obliged to delete the IP infringing copies uploaded to his platform once he gains knowledge of it, e.g. by being notified of it. The Court now added the obligation for the host to also scan all his data on the platform for other uploaded copies of that particular protected work in questions, e.g. other uploads of the same music song.
