The Senate annuls the judgement of the court of appeals in a dispute between the copyright collective society and a radio broadcaster

The Senate has annulled the judgment of the court of appeals in which the court has calculated and recovered from the radio broadcaster the remuneration for authors from all revenues of the broadcaster for use of musical works in favour of the Latvian copyright collective society AKKA/LAA. The Senate held that the remuneration cannot be calculated from all revenues of the broadcaster as the parties have always calculated the remuneration from the previously agreed and defined revenues in the licensing agreements. The law firm successfully represented the radio broadcaster in this case.
