that immediately before Article 14a new heading shall be inserted, reading “On the Making of Copies for Educational Purposes”,

that in the Act immediately before the heading before Article 42a and immediately before the heading before Article 52b new chapter headings shall be inserted, reading as follows.

2. Subject to the limitations prescribed hereinafter, copyright shall include the exclusive right to exploit the work by making copies of it and by making it available to the public, be it in the original or an altered manner, in translation or adaptation, in another literary or artistic form, or in another technical manner.

As the making of copies shall be considered any direct or indirect, temporary or permanent preparation of copies of the work, regardless of the form or through which method this is carried out and regardless of whether it concerns the work in whole or in part.

The work is being made available to the public in the following cases

1. When the work is being communicated to the public. This is deemed to include any making available of the work to the public by wire or by wireless means that occurs from a place other than that where the public may enjoy the work.

Chapter 6a
On the Protection of Technological Measures, etc.

Introductory Provisions

52b. This Chapter contains provisions on the protection of technological measures and of electronic information on the management of rights.

The expression “Technological measure” as used in this Chapter means any effective technology, device or component designed to prevent or restrict, in the normal course of its operation, the reproduction or the making available to the public of a copyright-protected work without the consent of the author or his successor in title.

The expression “ Information on the management of rights” means any information, also in the form of numbers or codes, that is linked to a copy of a copyright-protected work or appears in connection with the communication to the public of such a work and which aims at identifying the work or the author or his successor in title or at informing about the conditions of use of the work. The information must have been provided by the author or his successor in title.

52c. The provisions on protection of technological measures in this Chapter do not apply to computer programs. Nor do they apply to the making available of official documents pursuant to Chapter 2 of the Freedom of the Press Act, to such use of works in the interest of the administration of justice or of public security that is referred to in Article 26 b, second Paragraph, or to research into cryptography.

The Act (2000:171) on Prohibition of Certain Decoding Equipment contains provisions aiming at preventing unauthorised access to certain services. As regards technological measures or arrangements used in connection with such conditional access to services in the form of such sound radio or television broadcasts as referred to in Article 2, item 1, in that Act, the provisions on technological measures in this Chapter do not apply.

On the Protection of Technological Measures

52d. It is prohibited to circumvent, without the consent of the author or his successor in title, any digital or analogue lock which prevents or limits the making of copies of a work protected by copyright, to circumvent a technological process, such as encryption, that prevents or limits the making available to the public of a work protected by copyright, or to circumvent any other technological measure that prevents or limits such acts of making available.

The provisions of the first Paragraph do not apply when someone, who in a lawful way has access to a copy of a work protected by copyright, circumvents a technological measure in order to be able to watch or listen to the work.

52e. It is prohibited to manufacture, import, transfer, distribute by, for instance, sale or rental, or to possess for commercial purposes any devices, products or components, or to make available services, which

1. are promoted, advertised or marketed for the purpose of circumvention of a technological measure,

2. other than to circumvent a technological measure, have only a limited interest from a commercial point of view, or a limited scope of commercial use, or

3. are primarily designed, constructed, adapted or produced for the purpose of enabling or facilitating a circumvention of a technological measure.

On the Right to Use, in Certain Cases, Works Protected by Technological Measures

52f. Anyone who, pursuant to the provisions in Articles 16, 17, 26, 26 a. or 26 e, is entitled to exploit a work protected by copyright shall be entitled to make use of a copy of a work that he lawfully has access to as referred to in the relevant provision, notwithstanding the fact that the copy is protected by a technological measure.

Where a technological measure prevents such a use, a Court may, at the request by a user entitled to that use, order, upon penalty of a fine, the author or his successor in title to make it possible for the user to exploit the work in the way prescribed in the provision referred to.

The provisions in the first and the second Paragraphs do not apply to works that have been made available to the public in accordance with agreed contractual stipulations in a way that makes it possible for members of the public to get access to the work by means of a communication from a place and a time that they themselves have chosen.

On the Protection of Electronic Rights Management Information

52g. It is, without the consent by the author or his successor in title, prohibited to

1. remove or alter any electronic rights management information relating to a work protected by copyright

2. exploit a work protected by copyright, or a copy of it, that has been altered in violation of item 1, by distributing it, importing it for the purpose of distribution or communicating it to the public.

The provisions of the first Paragraph apply only if the measure undertaken induces, enables, facilitates or conceals an infringement of a right protected under this Act.

On the Application of the Provisions on Neighbouring Rights

52h. The provisions in this Chapter relating to works shall apply correspondingly to subject matter protected pursuant to Articles 45, 46 and 48 as well as to such compilations and photographs which are protected under Articles 49 and 49 a.

54. Anyone who exploits a work in violation of this Act or of directions given pursuant to Article 41, second Paragraph, shall pay such a remuneration to the author or his successor in title that would constitute a reasonable compensation for the exploitation.

Where the exploitation has been carried out wilfully or with negligence, compensation shall be paid also for losses other than lost compensation as well as for mental suffering or other injury.

Anyone who otherwise wilfully or with negligence commits an act constituting an infringement or a violation pursuant to Article 53, shall pay to the author or his successor in title a compensation for losses, mental suffering or other injury caused by the act.

The obligation to pay a compensation according to the first or second Paragraph does not apply to anyone who, in connection with the making of copies for private purposes, violates only Article 12, fourth Paragraph, unless this violation is carried out wilfully or with gross negligence.

57b. Anyone who, in cases other than those referred to in Article 53, wilfully or with gross negligence violates Articles 52e or 52g, shall be punished by fines or imprisonment for not more than six months.

Anyone who, in cases other than those referred to in Article 53, wilfully or with gross negligence violates Article 52d, shall be punished by fines.

58. The District Court of Stockholm shall have jurisdiction in cases involving sound radio or television broadcasts in violation of this Act. The same shall apply in cases involving claims for compensation under Articles 17 and 18, 26a, first Paragraph, 42a, third Paragraph, or 47, and in cases where a corresponding compensation is claimed on the basis of a reference in Articles 45, 46, 48, 49 or 49a, and in cases concerning compensation for retransmissions referred to in Article 42f.

59. Violations referred to in Article 57b, second Paragraph may be the subject of a criminal action by a public prosecutor only if this is called for in the public interest. Criminal actions for other violations of this Act may be instituted by a public prosecutor if there is a complaint from an injured party or if such an action is called for in the public interest.

An action relating to a violation of the provisions in Article 3 or of directions given under Article 41, second Paragraph, may always be instituted by the surviving spouse of the author, by his relatives in the direct ascending or descending line or by his brothers or sisters.

If there is reason to believe that a criminal violation under this Act has occurred, property referred to in Article 55 may be taken into custody. In such cases the rules governing custody in criminal cases in general apply.
