andb any other factors it considers relevant,and shall then make an order under subsection (3).3 The Tribunal 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; orb in the case of a licence, either confirming or varying the proposed licence, as the Tribunal may determine to be reasonable in the circumstances.4 The Tribunal may direct that the order, so far as it reduces the amount of charges payable, has effect from a date before that on which it is made.If such a direction is made, any necessary repayments to a licensee shall be made in respect of charges already paid.5 The Tribunal may award simple interest on repayments, at such rate and for such period, ending not later than the date of the order, as it thinks fit.”

andc the owner or exclusive licensee of any intellectual property right in the effective technological measures applied to the work.3 The rights conferred by subsection (2) are concurrent, and sections 101(3) and 102(1) to (4) apply, in proceedings under this section, in relation to persons with concurrent rights as they apply, in proceedings mentioned in those provisions, in relation to a copyright owner and exclusive licensee with concurrent rights.4 Further, the persons in subsection (2) have the same rights under section 99 or 100 (delivery up or seizure of certain articles) in relation to any such device, product or component which a person has in his possession, custody or control with the intention that it should be used to circumvent effective technological measures, as a copyright owner has in relation to any infringing copy.5 The rights conferred by subsection (4) are concurrent, and section 102(5) shall apply, as respects anything done under section 99 or 100 by virtue of subsection (4), in relation to persons with concurrent rights as it applies, as respects anything done under section 99 or 100, in relation to a copyright owner and exclusive licensee with concurrent rights.6 The following provisions apply in relation to proceedings under this section as in relation to proceedings under Part 1 (copyright)—a sections 104 to 106 of this Act (presumptions as to certain matters relating to copyright);

orb (where it is established there is no subsisting voluntary measure or agreement) ensuring that the owner or exclusive licensee of that copyright work makes available to the complainant the means of carrying out the permitted act the subject of the complaint to the extent necessary to so benefit from that permitted act.4 The Secretary of State may also give directions—a as to the form and manner in which a notice of complaint in subsection (2) may be delivered to him;b as to the form and manner in which evidence of any voluntary measure or agreement may be delivered to him;

and a breach of the duty is actionable accordingly (subject to the defences and other incidents applying to actions for breach of statutory duty).7 Any direction under this section may be varied or revoked by a subsequent direction under this section.8 Any direction given under this section shall be in writing.9 This section does not apply to copyright works made available to the public on agreed contractual terms in such a way that members of the public may access them from a place and at a time individually chosen by them.10 This section applies only where a complainant has lawful access to the protected copyright work, or where the complainant is a representative of a class of persons, where the class of persons have lawful access to the work.11 Subsections (1) to (10) apply with any necessary adaptations to—a rights in performances, and in this context the expression “permitted act” refers to an act that may be done by virtue of a provision of this Act listed in Part 2 of Schedule 5A;b database right, and in this context the expression “permitted act” refers to an act that may be done by virtue of a provision of this Act listed in Part 3 of Schedule 5A; andc publication right.296ZF 1 In sections 296ZA to 296ZE, “technological measures” are any technology, device or component which is designed, in the normal course of its operation, to protect a copyright work other than a computer program.2 Such measures are “effective” if the use of the work is controlled by the copyright owner through—a an access control or protection process such as encryption, scrambling or other transformation of the work, orb a copy control mechanism,which achieves the intended protection.3 In this section, the reference to—a protection of a work is to the prevention or restriction of acts that are not authorised by the copyright owner of that work and are restricted by copyright; andb use of a work does not extend to any use of the work that is outside the scope of the acts restricted by copyright.4 Expressions used in sections 296ZA to 296ZE which are defined for the purposes of Part 1 of this Act (copyright) have the same meaning as in that Part.”
