The Court of Appeal in Rome has confirmed a first degree ruling requiring Vimeo to pay €3.5 million in compensation to Mediaset’s RTI.
According to Agenzia Nova, this is the second time, after the Court’s new rejection, that the US platform has lost an appeal of a first instance sentence for the illegal publication of Mediaset TV programmes covered by copyright.
Given that Vimeo was already requited to pay compensation of €8.5 million following a ruling in August 2022, it will now have to pay a total of €12 million.
