Remuneration for Private and Related Copying. While Section 53 of the Act allows private and organizational copying,8)_and_footnotes(n151);.vk n151 Sections 54 et seq., modified by the Amendment 2007, provide for remuneration for these activities. The rationale for this solution lies in the fact that privately and internally made copies prejudice the financial exploitation of protected works in published or other forms. The legislators considered that granting each author any right against private or quasi-private uses would lead either to the excessively onerous supervision of activities in the private sphere or to the ineffectiveness of such rights. They therefore chose an indirect course of action by making rights to remuneration applicable against the manufacturers and importers of recording and copying devices and media, as well as against retailers of such materials8)_and_footnotes(n152);.vk n152 and against operators of copying equipment in specified cases.
