RIGHT OF THE AUTHOR TO RENUMERATION IN THE CASE OF LENDING ORIGINALS OR REPRODUCED COPIES OF AN AUTHOR’S WORK

Nemanja Janković

10.55836/PiP_25205A
ABSTRACT /

By adopting the Fee Tariff for the Lending of Originals and Reproduced Copies of Copyrighted Works Published in Printed Form, an attempt was made to implement the authors’ right to claim compensation for the lending of originals or reproduced copies of their works by public libraries. Due to the intervention of the professional public, this Tariff was annulled because of certain disputed provisions. Using historical and legal-dogmatic methods, the author examines, in the first part of the paper, the concept and development of the author’s right to claim compensation for the lending of originals or reproduced copies of copyrighted works, a right known in comparative law as the public lending right (PLR). The author also analyses how this right is regulated within the EU and the Serbian Copyright and Related Rights Act. In the second part of the paper, the author provides a critical review of the Tariff, highlighting its key issues. The aim of the paper is to explore ways to implement this right of authors in the future, given that the adopted Tariff has been annulled.
