(i) the terms of the licence, and
(ii) any pecuniary remedy already awarded or available to either of them in respect of the infringement,
(b) no account of profits shall be directed if an award of damages has been made, or an account of profits has been directed, in favour of the other of them in respect of the infringement, and

and these provisions apply whether or not the copyright owner and the exclusive licensee are both parties to the action.
(5) The copyright owner shall notify any exclusive licensee having concurrent rights before applying for an order under section 125 (order for delivery up) or exercising the right conferred by section 126 (right of seizure) and the court may on the application of the licensee make such order under section 125 or, as the case may be, prohibiting or permitting the exercise by the copyright owner of the right conferred by section 126, as it thinks fit having regard to the terms of the licence.

(b) proposes terms for a licence which are unreasonable,
may apply to the Ordinary Court.
(3) A case shall be regarded as excluded from a licensing scheme for the purposes of subsection (2) if -

shall be in the same position as regards infringement of copyright as if he had at all material times been the holder of a licence granted by the owner of the copyright in question in accordance with the scheme.
(3) The Ordinary Court may direct that the order, so far as it varies the amount of charges payable, has effect from a date before that on which it is made, but not earlier than the date on which the reference was made or, if later, on which the scheme came into operation.
(4) If such a direction is made -
(a) any necessary repayments, or further payments, shall be made in respect of charges already paid, and
(b) the reference in subsection (2)(a) to the charges payable under the scheme shall be construed as a reference to the charges so payable by virtue of the order,
but no such direction may be made where subsection (5) applies.
(5) An order of the Ordinary Court under section 146 or 147 made with respect to a scheme which is certified for any purpose under section l79 has effect, so far as it varies the scheme by reducing the charges payable for licences, from the date on which the reference was made to the Ordinary Court.
(6) Where the Ordinary Court has made an order under section 148 (order as to entitlement to licence under licensing scheme) and the order remains in force, the person in whose favour the order is made shall if he -
(a) pays to the operator of the scheme any charges payable in accordance with the order or, if the amount cannot be ascertained, gives an undertaking to pay the charges when ascertained, and
(b) complies with the other terms specified in the order,
be in the same position as regards infringement of copyright as if he had at all material times been the holder of a licence granted by the owner of the copyright in question on the terms specified in the order.

(a) in the case of an order under section 152, if assignment is not prohibited under the terms of the Ordinary Court's order, and

Notification of licence or licensing scheme for excepted sound recordings.
156. (1) This section only applies to a proposed licence or licensing scheme that will authorise the playing in public of excepted sound recordings included in broadcasts, in circumstances where by reason of the exclusion of excepted sound recordings from section 93(1), the playing in public of such recordings would otherwise infringe the copyright in them.
(2) A licensing body must notify the Department of the details of any proposed licence or licensing scheme for excepted sound recordings before it comes into operation.
(3) A licence or licensing scheme, which has been notified under subsection (2), may not be operated by the licensing body until 28 days have elapsed since that notification.
(4) Subject to subsection (5), the Department shall take into account the matters set out in subsection (6) and then either -
(a) refer the licence or licensing scheme to the Ordinary Court for a determination of whether the licence or licensing scheme is reasonable in the circumstances, or
(b) notify the licensing body that it does not intend to refer the licence or licensing scheme to the Ordinary Court.
(5) If the Department becomes aware -
(a) that a licensing body has failed to notify it of a licence or licensing scheme under subsection (2) before it comes into operation, or
(b) that a licence or licensing scheme has been operated within 28 days of a notification under subsection (2),
subsection (4) does not apply, but the Department may at any time refer the licence or licensing scheme to the Ordinary Court for a determination of whether the licence or licensing scheme is reasonable in the circumstances, or may notify the licensing body that it does not intend to refer it to the Ordinary Court.
(6) The matters referred to in subsection (4) are -
(a) whether the terms and conditions of the proposed licence or licensing scheme have taken into account the factors set out in subsection (7),
(b) any written representations received by the Department,
(c) previous determinations of the Ordinary Court,
(d) the availability of other schemes, or the granting of other licences, to other persons in similar circumstances, and the terms of those schemes or licences, and
(e) the extent to which the licensing body has consulted any person who would be affected by the proposed licence or licensing scheme, or organisations representing such persons, and the steps, if any, it has taken as a result.
(7) The factors referred to in subsection (6) are -
(a) the extent to which the broadcasts to be shown or played by a potential licensee in circumstances mentioned in subsection (1) are likely to include excepted sound recordings,
(b) the size and the nature of the audience that a licence or licensing scheme would permit to hear the excepted sound recordings,
(c) what commercial benefit a potential licensee is likely to obtain from playing the excepted sound recordings, and
(d) the extent to which the owners of copyright in the excepted sound recordings will receive equitable remuneration, from sources other than the proposed licence or licensing scheme, for the inclusion of their recordings in the broadcasts to be shown or played in public by a potential licensee.

(10) If a reference made to the Ordinary Court under section 145 or 152 is permitted under subsection (8) then -
(a) the reference shall not be considered premature only because the licence or licensing scheme has not been notified to the Department under subsection (2), and
(b) where the Ordinary Court decides to entertain the reference, subsections (2) to (5) shall not apply.
(11) Nothing in this section shall be taken to prejudice any right to make a reference or application to the Ordinary Court under sections 147 to 149, 153 or 154.

(13) In this section and in section 157, any reference to a "licence" means a licence granted by a licensing body otherwise than in pursuance of a licensing scheme and which covers works of more than one author.
References to the Ordinary Court by the Department under section 156.

(2) When considering the matter referred, and after concluding any such enquiries, the Ordinary Court shall take into account -
(a) whether the terms and conditions of the proposed licence or licensing scheme have taken into account the factors set out in section 156(7), and
(b) any other factors it considers relevant,
and shall then make an order under subsection (3).
(3) The Ordinary Court shall make such order -
(a) in the case of a licensing scheme, either confirming or varying the proposed scheme, either generally or so far as it relates to cases of any description, or
(b) in the case of a licence, either confirming or varying the proposed licence, as the Ordinary Court may determine to be reasonable in the circumstances.

Factors to be taken into account in certain classes of case
General considerations: unreasonable discrimination.
158. In determining what is reasonable on a reference or application under this Part relating to a licensing scheme or licence, the Ordinary Court shall have regard to -
(a) the availability of other schemes, or the granting of other licences, to other persons in similar circumstances, and
(b) terms of those schemes or licences,
and shall exercise its powers so as to secure that there is no unreasonable discrimination between licensees, or prospective licensees, under the scheme or licence to which the reference or application relates and licensees under other schemes operated by or other licences granted by the same person.
Licences for reprographic copying.
159. Where a reference or application is made to the Ordinary Court under this Part relating to the licensing of reprographic copying of published literary, dramatic, musical or artistic works, or the typographical arrangement of published editions, the Ordinary Court shall have regard to -

(2) The Ordinary Court shall, in considering what charges should be paid for a licence, have regard to the extent to which the owners of copyright in the works included in the broadcast have already received, or are entitled to receive, payment in respect of their inclusion.
Licences to reflect conditions imposed by promoters of events.
161. (1) This section applies to references or applications under this Part in respect of licences relating to sound recordings, films, or broadcasts which include, or are to include, any entertainment or other event.
(2) The Ordinary Court shall have regard to any conditions imposed by the promoters of the entertainment or other event and, in particular, the Ordinary Court shall not hold a refusal or failure to grant a licence to be unreasonable if it could not have been granted consistently with those conditions.
(3) Nothing in this section shall require the Ordinary Court to have regard to any of those conditions in so far as they -
(a) purport to regulate the charges to be imposed in respect of the grant of licences, or
(b) relate to payments to be made to the promoters of any event in consideration of the grant of facilities for making the recording, film or broadcast.
Licences to reflect payments in respect of underlying rights.
162. (1) In considering what charges should be paid for a licence -
(a) on a reference or application under this Part relating to licences for the rental or lending of copies of a work, or

the Ordinary Court shall take into account any reasonable payments which the owner of the copyright in the work is liable to make in consequence of the granting of the licence, or of the acts authorised by the licence, to owners of copyright in works included in that work.
(2) On any reference or application under this Part relating to licensing in respect of the copyright in sound recordings, films or broadcasts, the Ordinary Court shall take into account, in considering what charges should be paid for a licence, any reasonable payments which the copyright owner is liable to make in consequence of the granting of the licence, or of the acts authorised by the licence, in respect of any performance included in the recording, film or broadcast.
Licences in respect of works included in re-transmissions.
163. (1) This section applies, subject to subsection (4), to references or applications under this Part relating to licences to include in a broadcast -
(a) literary, dramatic, musical or artistic works, or
(b) sound recordings of films,
where one broadcast ("the first transmission") is, by reception and immediate re-transmission, to be further broadcast ("the further transmission").
(2) So far as the further transmission is to the same area as the first transmission, the Ordinary Court shall, in considering what charges should be paid for licences for either transmission, have regard to the extent to which the copyright owner has already received, or is entitled to receive, payment for the other transmission which adequately remunerates him in respect of transmissions to that area.
(3) So far as the further transmission is to an area outside that to which the first transmission was made, the Ordinary Court shall leave the further transmission out of the account in considering what charges (if any) should be paid for licences for the first transmission.
(4) This section does not apply in relation to any application under section 95 (royalty or other sum payable in pursuance of section 94(4))
Mention of specific matters not to exclude other relevant considerations.
164. The mention in sections 158 to 163 of specific matters to which the Ordinary Court is to have regard in certain classes of case does not affect the Ordinary Court's general obligation in any case to have regard to all relevant considerations.

Implied indemnity in schemes or licences for reprographic copying
Implied indemnity in certain schemes and licences for reprographic copying.
173. (1) This section applies to -
(a) schemes for licensing reprographic copying of published literary, dramatic, musical or artistic works, or the typographical arrangement of published editions, and
(b) licences granted by licensing bodies for that copying,
where the scheme or licence does not specify the works to which it applies with sufficient particularity to enable licensees to determine whether a work falls within the scheme or licence by inspection of the scheme or licence and the work.
(2) There is implied -
(a) in every scheme to which this section applies an undertaking by the operator of the scheme to indemnify a person granted a licence under the scheme, and
(b) in every licence to which this section applies an undertaking by the licensing body to indemnify the licensee,
against any liability incurred by him by reason of his having infringed copyright by making or authorising the making of reprographic copies of a work in circumstances within the apparent scope of his licence.
(3) The circumstances of a case are within the apparent scope of a licence if -
(a) it is not apparent from inspection of the licence and the work that it does not fall within the description of works to which the licence applies, and
(b) the licence does not expressly provide that it does not extend to copyright of the description infringed.
(4) In this section "liability" includes liability to pay costs, and this section applies in relation to costs reasonably incurred by a licensee in connection with actual or contemplated proceedings against him for infringement of copyright as it applies to sums which he is liable to pay in respect of that infringement.
(5) A scheme or licence to which this section applies may contain reasonable provision -
(a) with respect to the manner in which, and time within which, claims under the undertaking implied by this section are to be made,
(b) enabling the operator of the scheme or, as the case may be, the licensing body to take over the conduct of any proceedings affecting the amount of his liability to indemnify.
Reprographic copying by educational establishments
Power to extend coverage of scheme or licence.
174. (1) This section applies to -
(a) a licensing scheme to which sections 145 to 150 apply (see section 144) and which is operated by a licensing body, or
(b) a licence to which sections 152 to 155 apply (see section 151),
so far as it provides for the grant of licences, or is a licence, authorising the making by or on behalf of educational establishments for the purpose of instruction of reprographic copies of published literary, dramatic, musical or artistic works, or of the typographical arrangement of published editions.
(2) If it appears to the Department with respect to a scheme or licence to which this section applies that -
(a) works of a description similar to those covered by the scheme or licence are unreasonably excluded from it, and
(b) making them subject to the scheme or licence would not conflict with the normal exploitation of the works or unreasonably prejudice the legitimate interests of the copyright owners,
it may by regulations provide that the scheme or licence shall extend to those works.
(3) Where it proposes to make regulations under subsection (2), the Department shall give notice of the proposal to -
(a) the copyright owners,
(b) the licensing body in question, and
(c) any persons or organisations representative of educational establishments, and any other persons or organisations, the Department thinks fit.
(4) The notice shall inform those persons of their right to make written or oral representations to the Department about the proposal within six months from the date of the notice, and if any of them wishes to make oral representations, the Department shall appoint a person to hear the representations and report to it.
(5) In considering whether to make regulations the Department shall take into account any representations made to it in accordance with subsection (4) and any other matters that appear to it to be relevant.
Variation or discharge of order extending scheme or licence.

(2) The Department shall not entertain an application made within two years of the making of the original regulations, or of the making of regulations on a previous application under this section, unless it appears to it that the circumstances are exceptional.
(3) On considering the reasons for the application the Department may confirm the regulations forthwith and, if it does not do so, it shall cause notice of the application to be given to -
(a) the licensing body in question, and
(b) any persons or organisations representative of educational establishments, and any other persons or organisations, that it thinks fit.
(4) The notice shall inform those persons of their right to make written or oral representations to the Department about the application within the period of two months from the date of the notice, and if any of them wishes to make oral representations the Department shall appoint a person to hear the representations and report to it.
(5) In considering the application the Department shall take into account the reasons for the application, any representations made to it in accordance with subsection (4) and any other matters that appear to it to be relevant.
(6) The Department may make any regulations it thinks fit confirming or revoking the regulations (or, as the case may be, the regulations as previously varied), or varying (or further varying) them so as to exclude works from them.
Inquiry whether new scheme or general licence required.
176. (1) The Department may appoint a person to inquire into the question whether new provision is required (whether by way of a licensing scheme or general licence) to authorise the making by or on behalf of educational establishments for the purposes of instruction of reprographic copies of -
(a) published literary, dramatic, musical or artistic works, or
(b) the typographical arrangement of published editions,
of a description which appears to the Department not to be covered by an existing licensing scheme or general licence and not to fall within the power conferred by section 174 (power to extend existing schemes and licences to similar works).
(2) The procedure to be followed in relation to an inquiry shall be that which is prescribed by regulations made by the Department.
(3) The regulations shall, in particular, provide for notice to be given to -
(a) persons or organisations appearing to the Department to represent the owners of copyright in works of that description, and
(b) persons or organisations appearing to the Department to represent educational establishments,
and for the making of written or oral representations by those persons, but without prejudice to the giving of notice to, and the making of representations by, other persons and organisations.
(4) The person appointed to hold the inquiry shall not recommend the making of new provision unless he is satisfied -
(a) that it would be of advantage to educational establishments to be authorised to make reprographic copies of the works in question, and
(b) that making those works subject to a licensing scheme or general licence would not conflict with the normal exploitation of the works or unreasonably prejudice the legitimate interests of the copyright owners.
(5) If he does recommend the making of new provision he shall specify any terms, other than terms as to charges payable, on which authorisation under the new provision should be available.
(6) In this section and section 177 a "general licence" means a licence granted by a licensing body which covers all works of the description to which it applies.
Statutory licence where recommendation not implemented.
177. (1) The Department may, within one year of the making of a recommendation under section 176, by regulations provide that if, or to the extent that, provision has not been made in accordance with the recommendation, the making by or on behalf of an educational establishment, for the purposes of instruction, of reprographic copies of the works to which the recommendation relates shall be treated as licensed by the owners of the copyright in the works.
(2) For that purpose provision shall be regarded as having been made in accordance with the recommendation if -
(a) a certified licensing scheme has been established under which a licence is available to the establishment in question, or
(b) a general licence has been -
(i) granted to or for the benefit of the establishment, or
(ii) referred by or on behalf of that establishment to the Ordinary Court under section 152 (reference of terms of proposed licence), or
(iii) offered to or for the benefit of that establishment and refused without such a reference,
and the terms of the scheme or licence accord with the recommendation.
(3) The regulations shall provide that any existing licence authorising the making of those copies (not being a licence granted under a certified licensing scheme or a general licence) shall cease to have effect to the extent that it is more restricted or more onerous than the licence provided for by the regulations.
(4) The regulations shall provide for the licence to be free of royalty but, as respects other matters, subject to any terms specified in the recommendation and to any other terms as the Department may think fit.
(5) The regulations may provide that where a copy which would otherwise be an infringing copy is made in accordance with the licence provided by the regulations but is subsequently dealt with, it shall be treated as an infringing copy for the purposes of that transaction, and if that transaction infringes copyright, for all subsequent purposes.

(2) Expressions used in such a document shall be construed in accordance with their effect immediately before commencement.
17. (1) Where the author of a literary, dramatic, musical or artistic work was the first owner of the copyright in it, no assignment of the copyright and no grant of any interest in it, made by him (otherwise than by will) after the 1st July, 1912, shall be operative to vest in the assignee or grantee any rights with respect to the copyright in the work beyond the expiration of 25 years from the death of the author.
