Maybe too detailed a question.  |
Every EU country's courts has to take account of the guidance on any case involving this EU directive. But each court (including the Italian one that asked for help here) has to establish its own facts on matters like "The national court may, in particular, examine how often those devices, products or components are in fact used in disregard of copyright and how often they are used for purposes which do not infringe copyright"
When a format conversion is "infringement" is for the national courts too.
