=== ''SGAE vs Fernández'' ===
In the fall of 2006, the [[collecting society]] {{lang|es|italic=no|Sociedad General de Autores y Editores}} ([[Sociedad General de Autores y Editores|SGAE]]) in Spain sued Ricardo Andrés Utrera Fernández, owner of a disco bar located in [[Badajoz]] who played CC-licensed music. SGAE argued that Fernández should pay royalties for public performance of the music between November 2002 and August 2005. The Lower Court rejected the collecting society's claims because the owner of the bar proved that the music he was using was not managed by the society.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Mia Garlick |date=March 23, 2006 |title=Spanish Court Recognizes CC-Music |url=https://creativecommons.org/2006/03/23/spanishcourtrecognizesccmusic/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230926051259/https://creativecommons.org/2006/03/23/spanishcourtrecognizesccmusic/ |archive-date=September 26, 2023 |access-date=November 22, 2023 |publisher=Creative Commons |df=mdy-all}}</ref>

In February 2006, the Cultural Association Ladinamo (based in Madrid, and represented by [[Javier de la Cueva]]) was granted the use of copyleft music in their public activities. The sentence said:

{{blockquote|Admitting the existence of music equipment, a joint evaluation of the evidence practiced, this court is convinced that the defendant prevents communication of works whose management is entrusted to the plaintiff [SGAE], using a repertoire of authors who have not assigned the exploitation of their rights to the SGAE, having at its disposal a database for that purpose and so it is manifested both by the legal representative of the Association and by Manuela Villa Acosta, in charge of the cultural programming of the association, which is compatible with the alternative character of the Association and its integration in the movement called '[[copy left]]'.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Sentencia nº 12/2006 Juzgado de lo Mercantil nº 5 de Madrid |website=Derecho de Internet |url=http://www.derecho-internet.org/node/359 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151126165923/http://www.derecho-internet.org/node/359 |archive-date=November 26, 2015 |access-date=2015-12-24 |language=es |df=mdy-all}}</ref>}}
