Latest Version in WIPO Lex
Year of Version 2013 Dates Entry into force: November 1, 2013 Issued: October 31, 2013 Type of Text Implementing Rules/Regulations Subject Matter Copyright and Related Rights (Neighboring Rights) Notes These Regulations transpose Directive 2011/77/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 September 2011 amending Directive 2006/116/EC on the term of protection of copyright and certain related rights into Irish law. In line with the Directive, the Regulations extend the term of protection for performers and for producers of sound recordings from 50 to 70 years. The Regulations introduce also new measures to benefit performers in sound recordings in the later stages of their career such as: a 20% fund for session musicians to obtain additional payments during the extended 20 year term; a provision whereby performers can reclaim their rights from producers if, in the extended period, a record company does not market a recording and, a ‘clean slate’ provision, whereby producers will not be entitled to make deductions from the contractual royalties due to featured performers during the extended term of protection. The Regulations implement also harmonised rules governing the term of protection of copyright in musical compositions with words, i.e. where the lyricist and the composer are different persons.
