Obligations of music users (what they can do with your recording and what they can’t)
Pursuant to Art.94 item 4 of the copyright law the producer has the exclusive right to exploit his own recordings within the scope of reproduction, introduction to circulation, rental and lease, as well as making the recordings available to the public. It means that nobody can copy, introduce into circulation, rent or make the recordings available without a written permission of the producer.
Additionally, producers have the right to equitable remuneration for broadcasting, public performance and retransmission of their recordings (Art.94 item 5 of the copyright law). It means that every recording introduced into circulation can be broadcast (e.g. on the radio, on television), publicly performed (e.g. in a shop, bar or a disco) or retransmitted (e.g. in a cable network) without a necessity of requesting the approval of its producer. However the producer has the right to claim appropriate remuneration which is collected by collective rights management organisations.
