The government, through an announcement, has indicated that it has approved General Tarifs for the use of protected materials in the retransmitting case, but no more details have been given, how compensation will be made.
“Tarifat is based on television channel grouping: Up to 70 television channels .30 euros per subscription; from 71 to 100 television channels .35 euros per subscription; from 101 to 150 television channels .40 euros per subscription; and over 151 television channels .45 euros per subscription. The decision ensures implementation of the Law for copyright and imposes all cable operators and other subjects that make retransmitting of television channels to adhere to that decision”, the Government's decision says.
Sources within the MKRS show that the distribution of tools will be complicated and will be made based on certain criteria, such as retransmitting time, minutes and TV viewing.
Pay will be monthly and all this will be done through the association V APIC.
The government has invited cable operators to stick to that decision.
Meanwhile, Minister of Culture, Youth and Sports Vlora Dumosh has called this a historic decision. It has clarified that it is about audio-visual rights, but the same as the Government has not provided more details.
The historical decision for a better future for the authors of our country's creators. Today, the government Hoti has decided on adopting general tariffs for the exploitation of protected matter and copyright with the retransmitting case, through which fair compensation is established and adequate for authors, creators and investors of audio-visual works. With this decision, a functional copyright system allows rights holders for their actions, as well as fulfils the obligation to implement intellectual property rights that comes out of Article 77 and 78 of the SAA”, has written Dumi on Facebook.
