—an infringement (for the purposes of Directive 2004/48 of 29 April 2004 (*1)) of a right of the author of the software which is reserved by Article 4 of Directive 2009/24/EC of 23 April 2009 on the legal protection of computer programs (*2)
—or may it comply with a separate system of legal rules, such as the system of rules on contractual liability under ordinary law?
