What are the legally permitted uses of the work?

Statutory license use refers to a system in which, in accordance with the provisions of the Copyright Law, users can use works that have been published by others without the permission of the Copyright owner, but they must pay them remuneration and respect the other rights of the copyright owner.

Legal permission has the following four situations:

1. After the work is published, no reproduction or reproduction is allowed unless otherwise stated by the copyright owner. Except for excerpts, other newspapers and periodicals may reprint it or publish it as abstract material, but remuneration must be paid to the copyright owner in accordance with regulations.

2. Performers who use other people’s published works for commercial performances may do so without the permission of the copyright owner, but they must pay remuneration in accordance with regulations; the copyright owner declares that the use is not allowed shall not be used.

3. Radio stations and television stations may use other people’s published works to produce radio and television programs without the permission of the copyright owner, but they are not allowed to use the works if the copyright owner states that they are not allowed to be used. Unless the copyright law stipulates that remuneration may not be paid, remuneration must be paid to the copyright owner.

4. A sound recording producer may use the published works of others to make sound recordings without the permission of the copyright owner, but must pay remuneration in accordance with regulations; the copyright owner declares that no use is allowed shall not be used.

In addition, if a performer uses the published works of others for the purpose of producing audio and video recordings and performing radio and television programs, this is also a legally permitted use.
