3 March 2008 Ruling the Supreme Court in the case LATGAA v. Trajektorija (3K-3-4/2008) upheld the extended copyright levies on all blank media introduced to Lithuania (regardless of whether it was imported from outside of the EU, or introduced from the other EU country, and irrespective of the purpose for which the media is intended or used). The Court ignored the social and economic burden of this decision, as well as misinterpreted the EU Copyright Directive 2001/29/EC. The decision failed to conclude the dispute on the fairness of compensation for the private copying exception, instead imposing the general social burden. IRII comment
