Setting general private copying levies on the first sale of blank media
such as CDs and DVDs does not necessarily breach EU law, Europe's highest
court said on 11 July. The law does not allow the levy to be collected
where the intended use of the recording media clearly isn't for making
private copies. But it doesn't bar a general levy system that includes the
option of reimbursement where the intended use is not private copying, the
European Court of Justice (ECJ) said
