(1) Where the author has granted rental rights (section 17) in respect of a video or audio recording to the producer of the audio recording or of a film, the lessor is, nevertheless, required to pay the author equitable remuneration for the rental. The claim for remuneration may not be waived. It may be assigned in advance only to a collecting society.
(2) The author is to be paid equitable remuneration for the lending of those originals or copies of a work whose dissemination is permitted under section 17 (2) if the originals or copies are lent through a publicly accessible institution (library, collection of video or audio recordings or other originals or copies thereof). ʻLendingʼ within the meaning of sentence 1 means the time-limited transfer for use which neither directly nor indirectly serves profit-making purposes; section 17 (3) sentence 2 applies accordingly.
(3) The claims for remuneration under subsections (1) and (2) may be asserted only through a collecting society.
