The court decisions were analyzed in detail: \u00abSpiegel Online GmbH v. Volker Bec\u00bb and others. Disputes were heard by German courts as well as by the Court of Justice of the EU (decision of July 29, 2019). The court&#8217;s explanation of the application of European and German copyright law in the context of exceptions and limitations to these rights for informational purposes has been researched.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The main questions were answered by the Court of Justice of the EU and the German Court has been considered:<br>Was the use of the work a notification of current events?<br>What is a citation of the work?<br>Is a hyperlink to his work considered as citation?<br>How to find a balance between copyright and fundamental rights to freedom of the information and the press?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Attention is drawn to the recommendations of the Court of Justice of the EU to the national court in finding a balance between the exclusive rights of the copyright subject, on the one hand, and the rights of users, on the other hand; taking into account all the circumstances of the case, based on fundamental rights are provided in the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union, and the norms of copyright law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Resolving such disputes requires: take into account the character of the information; to decide whether the information is a notification of current events, even in cases where the event occurred much earlier, but at the time of the dispute considered as public interest; establish the purpose and scope of citation of the work, whether the citation goes beyond what is necessary to achieve the information goal; consider that citations can be made, via hyperlinking to the work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A comparison is made between the norms of the legislation of Ukraine on copyright about the free use of works and the corresponding the norms of the European and German legislation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Judicial decisions are interesting, and their consideration is useful, for several reasons. Firstly, the court provided detailed explanations on the conditions of free use of the works of the Media for information purposes. Secondly, recommendations are provided to ensure the balance of these rights. Third, the conditions under which the use of the works (their fragments) will be considered a citation by means of a hyperlink, are determined. Fourth, explanations of the norms of Directive 2001\/29\/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council on the harmonization of certain aspects of copyright and related rights in the information society, are provided. Therefore, familiarization with these cases and their analysis conducted by the author in the article will be useful for judges, lawyers, jurists, scholars and other stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Keywords: <\/strong>copyright, free information, media, exceptions and limitation of rights, free use of works for informational purposes, citations, hyperlinks<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>References<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Spiegel Online Gmbh v. \u0424\u043e\u043b\u044c\u043a\u0435\u0440\u0430 \u0411\u0435\u043a\u0430 \u0421-516\/17.
