The Composition of Infringement of Copyright and Neighbouring Rights
Infringement of copyright and neighbouring rights is established in a separate criminal norm, and it unites three directions: the appropriation of authorship of an object of copyright or coercion to co-authorship; the commission of that act more than once; and, in violation of the law on copyright and neighbouring rights, the reproduction of a work, phonogram, videogram or database, the unauthorized acquisition, import, storage, sale, rental, transfer of copies or other infringement of the right of the holder — with the aim of receiving income in a large amount. The object of the accusation is therefore not abstract copying, but the acts precisely enumerated in the law, and the defence's first task is precisely to verify the correspondence of the charge to this enumeration, including the boundary between the criminal composition and a civil-law dispute.
