Right To Private Copies

Section 25 of the current Spanish Intellectual Property Law establishes, in benefit of the authors and those entitled to the rights, a compensatory remuneration by reason of the quantities they no longer obtain, as a consequence of the copies made legally by physical people for their private use.

The Law establishes an equal and single remuneration in accordance with 3 kinds of reproductions: 

  1. Reproductions of works divulgated through books or publications carried out exclusively for private use through non-typographical technical devices or tools. These reproductions are similar by regulation.
  2. Reproductions of phonograms and videograms made exclusively for private use.
  3. Reproductions of other sound, visual or audiovisual means made exclusively for private use.

The specification of the remuneration is carried out for each of the 3 categories mentioned depending on the device equipments and ideal materials to carry out this reproduction, whether manufactured in Spain or obtained abroad for its commercial distribution or for its use inside Spain.

Visual creators are benefited with this right, which must be managed by the collective management entity of intellectual property rights.

VEGAP is handling for his authors the right of remuneration coming from the amounts that the manufacturer and importers of reproduction of books equipments are paying, its means the named “Private Reprographic Copy”.

Nevertheless, VEGAP has subscribed an agreement with the Sociedad General de Autores y Editores (SGAE).Through this agreement, SGAE is handling for the members of VEGAP the rights belonging to the visuals creators for the inclusion of the rights of their works in the video recording, also named "Private Audiovisual Copy".
