Statute overview

About this statute

The text amends copyright-related rules and states that an author has the exclusive right to authorize public distribution of the work or copies, with exhaustion in the EU only after the first sale or first transfer of ownership made by or with the author's consent. For a lawfully made public work, the author cannot forbid several listed limited uses, such as short quotations, teaching/research excerpts, news reporting uses, private copying, parody, certain public-place reproductions, broadcasting recordings, preservation copying by institutions, disability uses, public-security uses, and some library-terminal access. This article sets expiry rules for related rights and gives different 50-year terms depending on the type of performance or phonogram and whether there has been lawful publication or communication to the public. Database protection applies only if the producer or rights holder meets the EU nationality/residence or EU-company location conditions; a company with only an EU statutory seat must also have real and continuous operations linked to a Member State economy.
