This makes sense.<p>AIUI the opinion says: Although EU law affords media rights holders additional rights to protect their businesses, this company doesn&#x27;t have a business model other than using those additional rights, therefore the company has nothing that the additional rights would protect, therefore it doesn&#x27;t have the additional rights.<p>One may have different opinions on those additional rights etc. That&#x27;s orthogonal to this opinion.

A bit surprised Denmark&#x27;s courts allowed ip addresses to be transferred.<p>Honestly though I wish &#x27;pirate&#x27; didn&#x27;t have such a broad definition.<p>Essentially there should be a big distinction between pirate and seeder&#x2F;leecher, where one is actively selling stolen goods and the other just consumes shared goods.
