AB This article deals with the difficult relationship between the Digital Content Directive and copyright principles. Applying the objective con¬sumer expectation test as laid down in Art 8 DCD, typical copyright restrictions such as those related to the exhaustion principle or limiting the use to a nar¬row circle of users are examined. Moreover, the trian¬gle between rightholders, traders, and consumers as reflected by licenses are scrutinized.
