3. Question

3. Please explain whether and how Luxembourg protects against both the direct and indirect reproduction of phonograms as required by TRIPS Article 14.2, including by digital transmission in the context of subscription or interactive services.

4. Answer

Article 3 of the Law of 29 March 1972 and Article 8 of the Law of 23 September 1975 protects reproduction in general and no other text excludes indirect reproduction expressly. The draft of a new amendment provides to introduce the terms "direct" and "indirect" in those Articles in order to avoid any controversial interpretation.
