With the limitations stated hereinafter, copyright shall include the exclusive right to control the work by reproducing it and by making it available to the public, be it in the original or an altered form, in translation or adaptation, in another literary or artistic form or by other technical means.



		The recording of a work on a material support by means of which it can be reproduced shall also be considered as the production of copies.



		A work is made available to the public by public performance or by having copies of it placed on sale, leased, lent or otherwise distributed to the public or publicly exhibited. A public performance which takes place within the framework of commercial activities for a comparatively large closed group of persons shall also be deemed a performance.



		Art. 3. When a work is reproduced or when it is made available to the public, the name of the author shall be stated to the extent and in the manner required by proper usage.



		A work may not be changed in a manner which is prejudicial to the author’s literary or artistic reputation or to his individuality, nor may it be made available to the public in the manner stated.



		The author may, with binding effect, waive his right under this Article only in relation to uses which are limited as to their character and scope.



		Art. 4. A person who has made a translation or an adaptation of a work or converted it into another literary or artistic form shall have copyright in the work in the new form, but his right to control it shall be subject to the copyright in the original work.



		If a person, in free connection with another work, has created a new and independent work, his copyright shall not be subject to the right in the original work.



		Art. 5. A person who, by combining works or parts of works, creates a composite literary or artistic work shall have copyright therein, but his right shall be without prejudice to the rights in the individual works.



		Art. 6. If a work has two or more authors whose contributions do not constitute independent works, the copyright shall belong to the authors jointly. However, each one of them is entitled to bring an action for infringement.



		Art. 7. A person whose name or generally known pseudonym or signature appears in the usual manner on copies of the work or when it is made available to the public shall, in the absence of proof to the contrary, be deemed to be its author.



		If a work is published without the name of the author being stated in the manner prescribed in the first paragraph, the editor, if he is named, or otherwise the publisher, shall represent the author until his name is stated in a new edition or in a notification to the Ministry of Justice.
