(1) Following publication, it is permitted to reproduce, distribute and make available to the public parts of works, small-scale literary works and musical works, individual artistic works or individual photographs which are incorporated in a collection combining the works of a considerable number of authors and are intended, by their nature, exclusively for use during religious ceremonies. The purpose for which the collection is to be used must be clearly stated on the copies or when making them available to the public.
(2) (repealed)
(3) Work on reproducing the work or making the work available to the public may only begin after the intention to exercise the entitlement under subsection (1) has been communicated by registered letter to the author or, if his or her place of residence or whereabouts are unknown, the holder of the exclusive right of use and two weeks have elapsed since the letter was sent. If the place of residence or whereabouts of the holder of the exclusive right of use are also not known, notification may be effected by publication in the Federal Gazette.
(4) The author is to be paid equitable remuneration for the exploitation permitted in accordance with this provision.
(5) The author may forbid the exploitation permitted in accordance with this provision if the work no longer reflects his or her conviction and the author can therefore no longer be reasonably expected to agree to the exploitation of the work and has for that reason revoked any existing right of use (section 42). The provisions of section 136 (1) and (2) apply accordingly.
