There are a series of exceptions which will reduce the quantity demanded. For example, the works that are not protected by copyright will be excluded from payment, such as the great classics of literature. There will also be a distinction between los members, such as the active members – those who have made a loan in the past year – meaning that the libraries will have to be more attentive to the readers that take books home, since they are the ones that entail the payment.
The loan is what generates the copyright, due to the fact that the Royal Decree (Royal Decree 624/2014, of july 18, which enacts the authors’ remuneration right for loaning their works in certain establishments serving the public. BOE Nº 186, of august 1 2014) which regulates this situation states that the consultations ‘in situ’ (on site) will not be charged. The rule establishes that this payment “in concept of remuneration for loan” will be made by royalty management organizations every year, during the first semester. Its application will be effective as of January 1, 2016.
