Dear Madam or Sir,
I am writing you on behalf of the Slovenian Association of cable operators
(ZKOS). ZKOS initiated a procedure before the Slovenian Copyright Board in
order to determine a tariff for the use of copyright in music works in case
of cable retransmission of television and radio channels (right of
retransmission). According to Slovene legislation, one of the relevant
criteria to determine an appropriate tariff is its comparability with
tariffs of collecting societies of the same category and for the same rights
and same copyright works in other EU Member States.
For this reason, I am kindly asking you for your answers to the following
questions:
1. What is the tariff (royalty amount) in case of cable retransmission of
music works in your country?
If the tariff is combined for several copyright works, please provide also
information on what is the share/amount for the music works solely.
2. Does the tariff for cable retransmission of music works also include
music which is included in audiovisual works and was created especially for
the use in the audiovisual works, or is this category of music perhaps
managed by any other collecting organization in your country?
3. Does the tariff for cable retransmission of music works also include use
of music works in other types of services by the service provider, such as
time-shift services, catch-up TV (CuTV), video-on-demand (VOD) and network
personal video recording (NPVR)?
If besides the linear (cable) retransmission of music works the tariff
includes any other types of services (e.g. non-linear services such as CuTV,
VOD, NPVR) please explain which services are included and what is the
share/amount in the tariff for those services solely, if applicable.
4. In case use of music works in any of the services mentioned in point nr.
3 is not included in the tariff for cable retransmission of music works, but
is determined separately, what is the tariff (royalty amount) in your
country, if applicable, in case of:
a. Use of music works within time-shift services;
b. Use of music works in catch-up TV (CuTV) services;
c. Use of music works in video-on-demand (VOD) services;
d. Use of music works in network personal video recording (NPVR) services;
e. Use of music works in case of downloading audiovisual works?
If the tariff is combined for several copyright works, please provide
information on what is the share/amount for the music works solely.
5. In case the information on the tariffs mentioned above are stated in a
legal document and published publicly, please provide us with a hyperlink to
the official published version of such document.
In case you need any additional explanations, please do not hesitate to
contact me on this e-mail or phone number stated below.
I am looking forward to your reply.
With kind regards,
Daniel Ogrizek
