The fees would be payable to copyright protection bodies such as OSA, Dilia and Intergram, the official copyright administrators approved by the regulator.

The new fees may be introduced if the respective bodies approve amending the Copyright Act. It has passed in the Chamber of Deputies and it will now be considered by the Senate. If it passes, it will become law after execution by the President and publication in the official Journal.
