Key legal question
Whether Ziff. 14 of the approved tariff lawfully defines protected audiovisual recordings as those available on the market for the public in any format.
Extracted holding
Yes. The tariff may refer to the underlying fixation, not only the exact physical medium used for broadcasting.
Extracted reasoning
The term 'available on the market' in Art. 35 URG is interpreted functionally in light of wording, purpose, and international instruments. The law aims at collective remuneration where individual licensing is impractical; tying liability to the exact physical format would be contrary to that purpose.
