CHAPTER II
Ancillary online services of broadcasting organisations
Article 3
Application of the country of origin principle to ancillary_online_services
1. The acts of communication to the public of works or other protected subject matter, by wire or wireless means, and of making available to the public of works or other protected subject matter, by wire or wireless means, in such a way that members of the public may access them from a place and at a time individually chosen by them, occurring when providing to the public:
(a) | radio programmes; and |
(b) | television programmes which are:
|
in an ancillary_online_service by or under the control and responsibility of a broadcasting organisation, as well as the acts of reproduction of such works or other protected subject matter which are necessary for the provision of, the access to or the use of such online service for the same programmes shall, for the purposes of exercising copyright and related rights relevant for those acts, be deemed to occur solely in the Member State in which the broadcasting organisation has its principal establishment.
point (b) of the first subparagraph shall not apply to the broadcasts of sports events and works and other protected subject matter included in them.
2. Member States shall ensure that, when setting the amount of the payment to be made for the rights to which the country of origin principle, as set out in paragraph 1, applies, the parties take into account all aspects of the ancillary_online_service, such as features of the service, including the duration of online availability of the programmes provided in that service, the audience, and the language versions provided.
The first subparagraph shall not preclude calculation of the amount of the payment on the basis of the broadcasting organisation's revenues.
3. The country of origin principle set out in paragraph 1 shall be without prejudice to the contractual freedom of the rightholders and broadcasting organisations to agree, in compliance with Union law, to limit the exploitation of such rights, including those under Directive 2001/29/EC.
CHAPTER III
Retransmission of television and radio programmes
Article 8
Transmission of programmes through direct_injection
1. When a broadcasting organisation transmits by direct_injection its programme-carrying signals to a signal distributor, without the broadcasting organisation itself simultaneously transmitting those programme-carrying signals directly to the public, and the signal distributor transmits those programme-carrying signals to the public, the broadcasting organisation and the signal distributor shall be deemed to be participating in a single act of communication to the public in respect of which they shall obtain authorisation from rightholders. Member States may provide for arrangements for obtaining authorisation from rightholders.
2. Member States may provide that Articles 4, 5 and 6 of this Directive apply mutatis mutandis to the exercise by rightholders of the right to grant or refuse the authorisation to signal distributors for a transmission referred to in paragraph 1, carried out by one of the technical means referred to in Article 1(3) of Directive 93/83/EEC or point (2) of Article 2 of this Directive.
