Protection of Foreign Works 6. If a convention was signed between Israel and another state on the matter of copyright protection or if Israel acceded to a convention on this matter, then the Minister of Justice may, by order published in Reshumot, order that the works for which that convention requires protection in Israel shall be protected according to the provisions of the order; the protection afforded a said work shall not be greater than that which would have been afforded to that work, had it first been published in Israel, if it was published, or, had the author been an Israel citizen when he wrote it, if it was not published; however, an order may provide for greater protection than this, if it so was agreed in the convention, but not greater than as agreed. First Publication of Work 7.—(1) If a work was published in several countries within 30 days after its first publication, then it shall be deemed to have been published simultaneously in all of them. (2) If a work was published simultaneously in Israel and in other countries, then shall be deemed to have been first published in Israel; however, a said work shall not be deemed to have been published in Israel, if publication in Israel was for the sake of appearance only. Permission to Use Copyrighted Material for Purposes of Educational Broadcasts 7A.—(a) For purposes of this section— “broadcast”—a radio broadcast and a television broadcast; “incidental use of work”—use of a work or of a part of it which is of minor importance for the subject of the broadcast, as background or as a connecting element or for the illustration or concretization of the subject of the broadcast. (b) The following shall not be deemed infringements of the copyright in a work— (1) incidental use of a copyrighted literary, dramatic, musical or artistic work for inclusion in a broadcast addressed to schools as part of a curriculum; (2) the broadcast of a work used as aforesaid; (3) the visual or auditory public performance—mainly to pupils for purposes of school activities—of a work used as aforesaid. (c) The copyright holder in a work which was used as said in subsection (b) shall for such use be entitled to royalties from the broadcaster at a rate set by agreement between them or—if there is no agreement—at the rate to be set by a committee said in subsection (d); however, the committee may refrain from requiring the broadcaster to pay royalties if, in its opinion, the use of the work is inconsiderable to the point where it does not affect the author’s right to royalties for the use of his work. (d) The Minister of Justice shall appoint a committee of three for purposes of subsection (c), including a judge of the District Court who shall be chairman of the committee and two members, of whom one at least shall be a representative of the public. (e) When the committee is about to set royalties under subsection (c), it shall give the parties a suitable opportunity to present their arguments and to produce evidence before it, at the times and in the manner and form prescribed by regulations.
