Follow-Up to Question 15: Could you also clarify what is meant by a work "made public" in the third paragraph of your response? More precisely, do you mean "published?" "first published" and/or "simultaneously published"?

In accordance with Article 1268 of the CC RF making the work public means an action which opens the work to the public for the first time by means of publication, public show, public performance, broadcast or cable or in any other manner. In such case the publication (release to the world) is the release for circulation of copies of the work which are copies of the work in any material form in a quantity sufficient for meeting the public's reasonable needs depending on the nature of the work. Thus, publication (release to the world) of the work is one of the means of making the work public (promulgation of a work).
