(1) German nationals or enterprises whose principal place of business is located within the territory to which this Act applies enjoy the protection granted under sections 85 and 86 for all their audio recordings, regardless of whether and where they were released. Section 120 (2) applies. Enterprises whose principal place of business is located in another Member State of the European Union or in another Contracting Party of the Agreement on the European Economic Area are deemed equivalent to enterprises whose principal place of business is located within the territory to which this Act applies.
(2) Foreign nationals or enterprises with no principal place of business within the territory to which this Act applies enjoy protection for all audio recordings released within the territory to which this Act applies, unless the audio recording was released outside the territory to which this Act applies more than 30 days before it was released within the territory to which this Act applies. However, the protection expires at the latest after the expiry of the term of protection in that state of which the producer of the audio recording is a national or in which the enterprise has its principal place of business, without exceeding the term of protection under section 85 (3).
(3) In all other cases, foreign nationals or enterprises whose principal place of business is not located within the territory to which this Act applies enjoy protection under international treaties. Section 121 (4) sentence 2 and sections 122 and 123 apply accordingly.
