Az audiovizuális média jogi meghatározása az Európai Unió Bíróságának New Media Online-ítéletében
The Legal Definition of Audiovisual Media, Decided Before the Court of Justice of the European Union

Summary/Abstract: The paper presents the problematic surrounding the legal definition of audiovisual media service by presenting and interpreting a case recently decided before the Court of Justice of the European Union, C-347/14 New Media Online. The case– submitted before the Court in 2012 – garnered international interest from scholars and law practitioners as it approached current problems linked to the issue of audiovisual media content hosted on online news portals, more specifically: does this type of content fall under the scope of the Audiovisual Media Services Directive. Advocate General Maciej Szpunar`s nonbinding opinion from July 2015 and the Courts final – somewhat diverging and more nuanced – decision from later that year offer important guidelines regarding the legal notion of (non-linear) audiovisual media content.
