Now the movement of “protection“ to the artists on the part of supposedly non-lucrative institutions, begins to affect Mexico. The Amprofon and other institutions are gliding to take measures similar to the SGAE in Spain. Only that one forgets a small detail to them. The federal law of the copyright, at least in Mexico, is very clear on this matter. Sólo que se les olvida un pequeño detalle. La ley federal del derecho de autor, por lo menos en México, es muy clara al respecto.

ARTICLE 40. - THE HOLDERS OF THE HEREDITARY RIGHTS OF AUTHOR AND OF THE NEIGHBORING RIGHTS WILL BE ABLE TO DEMAND A COMPENSATORY REMUNERATION FOR THE ACHIEVEMENT OF ANY COPY OR REPRODUCTION DONE WITHOUT HIS AUTHORIZATION AND WITHOUT BEING PROTECTED BY ANY OF THE LIMITATIONS FORESEEN IN THE ARTICLES 148 AND 151 OF THE PRESENT LAW.
ARTICLE 148. - THE ALREADY SPREAD LITERARY AND ARTISTIC WORKS WILL BE ABLE TO BE USED, WHENEVER THE NORMAL DEVELOPMENT OF THE WORK DOES NOT FALL ILL, WITHOUT AUTHORIZATION OF THE HOLDER OF THE HEREDITARY RIGHT AND WITHOUT REMUNERATION, QUOTING INVARIABLY THE SOURCE AND WITHOUT ALTERING THE WORK, ONLY IN THE FOLLOWING CASES:
I. APPOINTMENT OF TEXTS, WHENEVER THE TAKEN QUANTITY COULD NOT BE CONSIDERED TO BE A SIMULATED AND SUBSTANTIAL REPRODUCTION OF THE CONTENT OF THE WORK;
II. REPRODUCTION OF ARTICLES, PHOTOS, ILLUSTRATIONS AND COMMENTS REGARDING EVENTS OF ACTUALITY, PUBLISHED BY THE PRESS OR SPREAD BY THE RADIO OR THE TELEVISION, OR ANY OTHER WAY OF DIFFUSION, IF THIS WILL NOT HAVE BEEN DEFINITELY PROHIBITED BY THE HOLDER OF THE RIGHT;
III. REPRODUCTION OF PARTS OF THE WORK, FOR THE CRITICISM AND SCIENTIFIC, LITERARY OR ARTISTIC INVESTIGATION;
IV. REPRODUCTION FOR ONLY ONE TIME, AND IN MODEL ONLY ONE, OF A LITERARY OR ARTISTIC WORK, FOR USO PERSONAL AND DEPRIVED OF THE ONE WHO DOES IT AND WITHOUT ENDS OF LUCRE.
THE MORAL PERSONS WILL NOT BE ABLE TO USE OF THE ARRANGED IN THIS FRACTION UNLESS IT IS A QUESTION OF AN EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTION, OF INVESTIGATION, OR THAT IT IS NOT DEDICATED TO MERCANTILE ACTIVITIES;
V. REPRODUCTION OF ONLY ONE COPIES, ON THE PART OF A FILE OR LIBRARY, FOR SAFETY REASONS AND PRESERVATION, AND THAT IS EXHAUSTED, DESCATALOGADA AND IN DANGER OF DISAPPEARING;
