2. Research questions

Page 28: Copyright, Technology and the CJEU An Empirical Study · EU framework of rights and exceptions i) Economic rights with broad scope ii) Broad interpretation of rights iii) Rule-like

Research question #1: What is the relative prevalence of infringing and non-infringing outcomes?

Page 29: Copyright, Technology and the CJEU An Empirical Study · EU framework of rights and exceptions i) Economic rights with broad scope ii) Broad interpretation of rights iii) Rule-like

Research question #2: Is the CJEU abiding by the constraints or is it deciding flexibly?
