ECJ decision in the Călinescu case

The Hof van Justitie van de Europese Unie again emphasises (after Mio & Konektra) that the concept of a 'work' in copyright law is fully harmonised throughout the EU and that everywhere only two requirements apply (identifiable subject matter and an expression of free and creative choices). No higher threshold may be applied by any EU court.
