French Intellectual Property Code
In forceUnless otherwise stipulated:
1° The authorisation to telecast a work does not include the retransmission of that telecast, however the provider of the retransmission service obtains that work and whatever technology it uses, unless it is done simultaneously and in full by the organisation benefiting from that authorisation and without extending the geographical area contractually provided for ;
2° Authorisation to broadcast the work does not constitute authorisation to communicate the broadcast of that work in a place accessible to the public;
3° Authorisation to broadcast the work over the air does not include its transmission to a satellite allowing reception of that work via third-party organisations, unless the authors or their successors in title have contractually authorised those organisations to communicate the work to the public; in this case, the transmitting organisation is exempt from payment of any remuneration ;
4° The authorisation to broadcast a work over the air includes the distribution for non-commercial purposes of this broadcast over the internal networks of apartment blocks or groups of apartment blocks installed by their owners or co-owners, or by the agents of the latter, for the sole purpose of enabling each dwelling in these same apartment blocks or groups of apartment blocks to be connected to collective devices for receiving over-the-air broadcasts normally received in the area.
