This is how the EU's supreme court is stripping EU citizens of copyright protections

If copyright breach is a criminal matter in a juristiction...

... then aiding and abetting the copyright breach by telling people where to access it *could* be an offence I expect. Not a copyright breach itself, but still a potential crime. That fits with some of the examples above, e.g. by pointing a mate towards a guy who will sell him dodgy DVDs you can imagine an offence could be defined that covered that.

Of course, if it is a civil matter then something else may apply. I think part of the issue is that Latin law systems are fundamentally different to our common law approach and don't always make sense to me.
