[pp.int.general] The ‘private copying levy’ and European Union law

[Amelia Andersdotter]

My question for Josep Jover is a bit more off:

http://ipkitten.blogspot.com/2010/10/padawan-v-sgae-more-detail.html
states that this is the first time the court refers to private copying
as something "likely to harm the interests of the author".

what's josep's take on it?
