Huomautus sisällöstä, tiivistelmä tms. In this article we examine the legal framework of the European Union for injunctions against intermediaries whose services are used by a third party to infringe an intellectual property right, as set forth in the InfoSoc Directive and the Enforcement Directive. In particular, we consider the conditions to apply for the injunctions, taking into account how those conditions have been construed by the CJEU. We explore which is the minimum floor of injunctive relief Member States are obliged to provide under the Directives, as well as the maximum ceiling allowed, beyond which the protection granted would infringe upon the limits imposed by EU law. Next, we move on to consider particular types of injunctions that right holders may apply for against intermediaries on the basis of Art. 8(3) of the InfoSoc Directive, namely those that would consist of enjoining an ISP from providing Internet access to one of its users allegedly engaging in copyright infringement. A case already decided in Spain, Promusicae et al. v. R Cable y Telecomunicaciones Galicia, granting such an injunction serves us as a study case to assess the problems these remedies face. On the one hand, these privately litigated Internet disconnection injunctions may be seen by right holders as a promising tool to fight online copyright infringement perhaps an alternative to unsuccessful graduate response schemes. However, as we show in this article, these injunctions raise serious issues regarding their compatibility with the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights. Indeed, the possibility of effective injunctions of this kind which conform with human rights turns out to be very narrow. In other words, the Directives provisions promise much, but if applied correctly, they deliver little.
