Austria: New Copyright Law Effective

On 01, Oct 2015 | In Copyright Levies, News @en | By Alisa Maier

Austria As of 1 October 2015, significant amendments to the Austrian Copyright Act enter into force. The legal basis for copyright levy matters is being changed in key aspects such as:  
  • the scope is now extended to “all storage media
  • the levied products and corresponding tariffs are to be negotiated between the collecting society and the industry stakeholders
  • further changes in formal requirements, among them new exemption and refunding rules, transparency demands, visible fee, etc.
All companies having copyright levy obligations should observe these changes. Of course, 1cc is here to help you.
