Information

Please be advised that the payment of remuneration collected from information or documentation centres for providing copies of fragments of scientific and technical works against payment in the years 2005-2014 is in progress.
Information or documentation centres were entitled to prepare and distribute documentaries and make single copies of excerpts of published works under Article 30 of the Act on Copyright and Related Rights of 4 February 1994, repealed in 2015. The excerpts were made available under the so-called press monitoring system.
In 2003 the Decision of the Minister of Culture allowed the KOPIPOL Association to collect fees from the information or documentation centres for distributing parts of copyrighted works against payment. 
To enable KOPIPOL to distribute and disburse the remuneration to eligible creators, the information or documentation centres were obliged to submit statements indicating the works they had copied within the framework of permitted use provided for in the previously effective Article 30(1). 
Rightsholders are invited to contact the Association to receive their remuneration!
