Referral C-667/25 (Natural Beauty Levin, 9 Oct 2025)

(1) Should the concept of ‘communication to the public’ within the meaning of Article 8(2) of Directive 2006/115 be interpreted as including the situation of the broadcasting of phonograms within a salon, such as that at issue in the main proceedings, in the context of the operation of that business?

(2) When applying an individual approach to the concept of ‘communication to the public’, should circumstances such as the size of the establishment, the number of barber chairs and/or customer waiting stations, the existence of a relaxation area and/or a socialising area for customers, and the business model be considered relevant?
