Communiqué de Maître Gilles Vercken (Cabinet Vercken & Gaullier)

Avocat de LPR Distribution

Annulation de la fermeture du compte Instagram « lapiraterieofficial »

 
2 décembre 2022
 
 
Par ordonnance rendue sur requête, donc sans débat contradictoire, le 17 janvier 2022, Mme Dante, connue sur les réseaux sociaux sous le nom de « DEMDEM », avait obtenu du président du tribunal judiciaire de Marseille qu’il soit fait injonction à la société Meta Platforms Ireland Limited de fermer le compte Instagram « lapiraterieofficial », dédié à la culture hip-hop et rap et à la marque promue par Booba « La Piraterie », pour des faits supposés de « harcèlement ». 
 
À la suite de la notification de cette ordonnance par Mme Dante, Meta/Instagram avait fermé le compte « lapiraterieofficial ».
 
Par décision du 30 novembre 2022, le président du tribunal judiciaire de Marseille a annulé l’ordonnance précitée du 17 janvier 2022, laquelle est donc « nulle et non avenue », en jugeant que la demande de fermeture du compte Instagram ne pouvait être rendue sur requête, mais aurait dû faire l’objet d’un débat contradictoire. 
 
La fermeture du compte n’étant plus justifiée, LPR Distribution va demander officiellement à Meta/Instagram la réouverture du compte « lapiraterieofficial ».

For the first edition of the doctoral thesis award of CEIPI / VERCKEN & GAULLIER, the award was granted to the following thesis:

"Awareness and creation in Copyright Law"

Noémie Enser

"At the time when the questions pertaining to the human, moral and psychological consciousness are raised (again) with a particular acuteness in light of the developments of the "artificial intelligence" and the return of the morality in our societies, the doctoral thesis of Noémie Enser is particularly relevant and cutting edge.

The moral conscience has a role to play in Copyright Law and the awareness in the creation is at the centre of the concept itself of copyright".

For the first edition of the doctoral thesis award of Gilles Vercken Law Firm, the award was granted to the following thesis: "The professional author between copyright and labour law" by Stéphanie Le Cam.

"Gilles Vercken Law Firm is particularly pleased by the choice of this first thesis: the topic addressed by Mrs Stéphanie Le Cam has major practical repercussions for companies, which have to chose the contractual framework for their relations with the authors while taking into account the double constraint of Copyright Law and of Social Security Law.

For a deeper understanding of these constraints, it is crucial to grasp the theory which establishes them. Mrs Le Cam&"39;s work is a great harmony between both, theory and practice, which reflects one of the essential values of our Firm."
