COPYRIGHT REGULATIONS 1969 - REG 10

Payment of royalty where owner of copyright fails to supply adhesive labels

         (1)   This regulation applies for the purposes of sub‑subparagraph 55 (1) (d) (ii) (B) of the Act to the payment of a prescribed royalty by the manufacturer to the owner of the copyright in a musical work or musical works, other than an owner in relation to whom subregulation (1) of regulation 13 of these regulations applies at the time when the notice referred to in the next succeeding subregulation is served, but applies only in respect of a record of the work or works sold or supplied at a time when the next succeeding regulation does not apply as between those persons.

         (2)   Where:

                (a)    the manufacturer serves notice in writing on the owner of the copyright requesting him to make available for purchase by the manufacturer adhesive labels of a kind referred to in the last preceding regulation; and

               (b)    the owner of the copyright refuses or fails to make the labels available for purchase by the manufacturer within seven days after the notice is served on him;

the royalty payable by the manufacturer to the owner of the copyright in respect of records of the work or works sold or supplied by the manufacturer during the period ascertained in accordance with subregulation (4) of this regulation may be paid as provided by this regulation.

         (3)   Before the expiration of twenty‑eight days after the period ascertained in accordance with the next succeeding subregulation, the manufacturer shall:

                (a)    serve on the owner of the copyright a statement in writing specifying the number of records sold or supplied by the manufacturer during that period that include a musical work or musical works the copyright in which is owned by the owner (other than any records in respect of which royalties have already been paid to the owner otherwise than in pursuance of this regulation) and specifying, in relation to each such record:

                          (i)    the title (if any) of the musical work or of each of the musical works and a description of the work or of each of the works that is sufficient to enable the work to be identified;

                         (ii)    whether, in the performance of the musical work or musical works, words consisting or forming part of a literary or dramatic work in which copyright subsists are sung, or are spoken incidentally to or in association with the music;

                         (iii)    whether the record also includes any musical works in which copyright does not subsist and, if so, the number of those works;

                        (iv)    whether the record also includes any musical works the copyright in which is owned by other persons and, if so, the number of those works;

                         (v)    the selling price to the public of the record; and

                        (vi)    the amount considered by the manufacturer to be the amount of the royalty payable to the owner in respect of the record; and

               (b)    pay to the owner of the copyright the amount of the royalties payable in respect of records sold or supplied by the manufacturer during that period.

         (4)   The period referred to in the last two preceding subregulations is the period commencing immediately after the date of service of the notice referred to in paragraph (a) of subregulation (2) of this regulation and ending at the expiration of three months after that date or at the time when the next succeeding regulation commences to apply as between the manufacturer and the owner of the copyright, whichever first happens.
