dbo:abstract
  • Seriesyonkis va ser un cas de dret penal espanyol en què quatre persones titulars del llocs web Seriesyonkis, i dels llocs germans Peliculasyonkis i Videosyonkis, van ser acusats d'infracció de copyright a causa de la disposició pública d'enllaços a serveis d'allotjament de fitxers (cyberlockers) on els usuaris podien accedir a sèries de televisió i pel·lícules de forma gratuïta. Els acusats van enfrontar penes de fins a 4 anys de presó i més de 550 milions d'euros en danys. El cas posava en dubte si l'activitat dels administradors web constituïa un acte de comunicació pública, d'acord amb el Codi penal espanyol, en el sentit d'infringir la Directiva europea sobre drets d'autor. Finalment, els acusats van ser absolts dels càrrecs car el tribunal va considerar que, en el moment dels fets, l'hiperenllaç no es considerava un acte de comunicació pública en virtut del Codi penal espanyol.
