Submission of Raidió Teilifís Éireann for Amendments to Section 77 of the Broadcasting Act 2009 and Section 103 of the Copyright and Related Rights Act, 2000 10th July 2017 Submission of Raidió Teilifís Éireann for amendments to section 77 of the Broadcasting Act 2009 and section 103 of the Copyright and Related Rights Act, 2000. 1. Proposed Amendments to the Broadcasting Act, 2009 (“the Broadcasting Act”). For ease of reference, RTÉ has inserted its proposed amendments below (marked in red) within the relevant sections of the Act. The amendments proposed are straightforward, and they are set out below with accompanying explanation provided as to why the amendments are sought. As the obligations set out in the Broadcasting Act apply to RTÉ, TG4 and TV3, the amendments proposed will apply to other Irish indigenous broadcasters. Amendments to Section 77(11) (11) Without prejudice to the requirements imposed under sub-section (4), RTÉ, TG4 and the television service programme contractor shall ensure that their must-offer services are at all times offered for re-transmission (subject to agreement as to fair, reasonable and non-discriminatory terms of use and payment) by means of any appropriate network that is available for reception in an intelligible form by members of the public on the whole of or in part of the State. used by a significant number of end users as their principal means of receiving transmissions of programme material. The first proposed amendment is the addition of the words “and payment”. This would, in RTÉ’s view, address the issue that the must offer obligation as currently expressed in the Act can be read as requiring RTÉ, TG4 and TV3 (as the television programme contractor) to make their free to air television services/content available to a wide range of networks, with no return or consideration for that content being made to any of those broadcasters. The market for the distribution of high quality television content and channels in Ireland and elsewhere has changed radically. New platform operators are entering into the distribution market, bundling television phone (fixed and mobile) and broadband services. Larger network owners such as Virgin Media / Liberty Global and Sky have been launching a range of ancillary internet based television services to add to their existing cable and satellite offerings in order to increase their subscriber base. The market does not currently reflect the true value of Irish channels and content to those networks. As currently worded, the Act could be read as preventing a broadcaster from seeking to make any return, or from seeking to receive any payment in respect of its channels and content being re-transmitted on such networks. This in turn limits the amount of investment that can be made by the broadcasters in indigenous content production. The second proposed amendment, the wording inserted at the end of Section 77(11), addresses a separate issue. The wording proposed is designed to ensure that the wide ranging must offer obligation imposed on RTÉ, TG4 and TV3, which (as noted above) potentially extends to a vast number of networks irrespective of size, is at least proportional in its application to the broadcaster. The wording proposed at the end of the Section 77(11) above largely reflects the wording that is found at Section 272 of the UK’s Communications Act, 2003 which sets out the must offer obligation applicable to relevant broadcasters in the UK. This proposed amendment also reflects the wording that already appears at Section 77(2) of the Act. The latter provision permits the BAI in consultation with ComReg to determine whether a network is used by a significant number of end users as their principal means of receiving transmissions of programme material. This arises in the context of Section 77(4) for example and the other sub- sections cited at Section 77(2). RTÉ would propose that a similar consultative process could apply with regard to the obligation of must offer at Section 77(11) thus ensuring consistency of approach to the obligation imposed on the broadcaster. Amendment to Section 77(12) RTÉ, TG4 and the television service programme contractor shall ensure that their must-offer services are at all times offered for broadcast or re-transmission (subject to agreement as to fair, reasonable and non-discriminatory terms of use and payment) by means of every satellite television service. This is a similar amendment as already proposed to sub-section (11) above to address the issue that the broadcasters in question are obliged to offer their free to air television services to satellite television service providers without, on the face of it, any attendant entitlement to charge or secure any return or benefit in respect of the value of their content. The research that RTÉ has conducted confirms that the inclusion of high quality Irish channels and content (such as that provided by RTÉ, TG4 and TV3) within an offering by the likes of Sky directly benefits that platform in securing Irish subscribers. Again RTÉ would re-iterate the points made above with regard to the manner in which the distribution market has changed in Ireland and elsewhere. There is an urgent need to address within the legislative landscape, the unlevel playing field that currently exists between Irish broadcasters as content and channel providers on the one hand, and operators of satellite, cable and internet platforms on the other. - 2 - 2. Proposed Amendments to the Copyright and Related Rights Act, 2000 Section 103 Repeal of Section 103 RTÉ proposes that the exception created by section 103 of the Copyright and Related Rights Act, 2000 is repealed in its entirety. RTÉ proposes this for a number of reasons. The first is that the Court of Justice of the European Union has ruled (in ITV Broadcasting v TV Catchup. C-275/15) that a similar provision in the UK’s Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988 is not compatible with the Information Society Directive: “Article 9 of Directive 2001/29/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 May 2001 on the harmonisation of certain aspects of copyright and related rights in the information society, and specifically the concept of ‘access to cable of broadcasting services’, must be interpreted as not covering, and not permitting, national legislation which provides that copyright is not infringed in the case of the immediate retransmission by cable, including, where relevant, via the internet, in the area of initial broadcast, of works broadcast on television channels subject to public service obligations.” The UK provision, section 73 and 73A of the 1988 Act, has now been repealed by the Digital Economy Act 2017, with the repeal shortly to become effective. In the light of the CJEU’s decisions in this case, it is clear that unless section 103 is repealed, the European Commission will be entitled to take proceedings against the State for contravening the requirements of the Information Society Directive. The exception permits an operator of a cable programme service to re-transmit the free to air television broadcasts of RTÉ, TG4 and TV3 without any requirement to clear copyright. This exception was designed to ensure that where cable and MMDS providers were obliged to ensure that the then RTÉ television and radio services were carried, they would not additionally be obliged to clear copyright. This exception encouraged the roll out of cable and MMDS as a competing platform to off-air reception of terrestrial television broadcasts. Given the current state of development of the cable market in Ireland the rationale that informed the creation of section 103 has now fallen away and is no longer relevant. In addition, cable companies no longer have local monopoly characteristics as the market for distribution in Ireland has fundamentally changed since the inception of this copyright exception in the Copyright Act, 1963. The obligation by way of “must carry” with regard to Irish channels has no relevance, as much has changed with the development of digital television on cable and satellite and on IP platforms. There is now a multiplicity of networks which make television content available as exemplified by the definition of “electronic communications networks” set out at the beginning of the Broadcasting Act. Irish broadcasters are already under an extensive must offer obligation in respect of a whole range of networks, of which cable/MMDS networks are - 3 - but one. Therefore the case for having a specific copyright exception for a specific platform simply no longer applies. Amendment to Section 101 RTÉ proposes that Section 101 of the Copyright and Related Rights Act, 2000 is amended as follows: —(1) The making in domestic premises for private and domestic use of a fixation of a broadcast or cable programme solely for the purpose of enabling it to be viewed or listened to at another time or place shall not infringe the copyright in the broadcast or cable programme or in any work included in such a broadcast or cable programme. (2) Subject to subsection (3), the making by an establishment for private and domestic use of a fixation of a broadcast or cable programme solely for the purpose of enabling it to be viewed or listened to at another time shall not infringe the copyright in the broadcast or cable programme or in any work included in such a broadcast or cable programme. (3) The Minister may specify by order establishments for the purposes of this section. (4) Where a fixation which would otherwise be an infringing copy is made under this section and is subsequently sold, rented or (otherwise than to a person's family member or friend for private and domestic purposes) lent, or offered or exposed for sale, rental or loan, or otherwise made available to the public, it shall be deemed to be an infringing copy for those purposes and for all subsequent purposes.

(2018) Ireland: In search of reform for public service media funding. In C. Herzog, H. Hilker, L. Novy and Torun, O. (Eds), Transparency and Funding of Public Service Media: deutsche Debatte im internationalen Kontex (pp.77–90). Wiesbaden: Springer VS. Abstract This chapter discusses public service media (PSM) in Ireland in the context of the recent financial crisis and major demographic changes. It considers some of the factors impacting domestic PSM that are similar to those in other mature media systems in Europe, such as declining funding streams and debates over PSM-funding reform. After introducing the Irish social and political-economic context and providing for a brief historical review of PSM in Ireland, the roles of the domestic PSM organizations RTÉ and TG4 in the Irish media market are discussed. The chapter addresses initial government support for the introduction of a German-style household media fee, a Public Service Broadcasting Charge. While the charge was intended for introduction in 2015, it was later ruled out by the Irish Government in 2016. Ireland: in search of reform for public service media funding Public Service Media (PSM) has a long-tradition in the Republic of Ireland (ROI, hereafter Ireland), dating back to the commencement of the state radio service 2RN in January 1926.1 The state’s involvement in broadcasting later gave way to the main public broadcaster RTÉ, which has broadcast simultaneously on television and radio since New Year’s Eve 1961, and latterly, delivered public service content online.

  • DPP Technical Delivery Standards
    TECHNICAL STANDARDS FOR DELIVERY OF TELEVISION PROGRAMMES TO This document is a complete guide to the common technical standards agreed by the BBC, BTSport, Channel 4, Channel 5, ITV, Sky, S4C and TG4. The first three pages of this document outline parts of the specification that are unique to TG4. The main body of the document outlines the main DPP specification as adopted by all members. The Standards include: Technical Specifications, i.e. the technical production methods which must be used, and the parameters which all material must meet to be acceptable by the broadcasters. Picture and Sound Quality requirements, which also form a binding obligation on producers of material. Assessment of quality is by nature subjective, and is highly dependent on the nature of the programme. Some of the Quality Requirements are expressed in relative terms (“reasonable”, “not excessive” etc), and it will be necessary to make a judgement as to whether the quality expectations of the intended audience will be fulfilled, and whether the broadcaster will feel that value for money has been achieved. Delivery Requirements, which specify the form and layout of the programme material. Every programme submitted for transmission must satisfy a Quality Control process specified by the Broadcaster. Any programme failing the QC process on tape or file may be rejected and returned to the supplier for repair. Please ensure you are using the current version of this document, available at: http://www.tg4.ie/en/production/guidelines.html Technical Responsibility and Contacts TG4 is required to ensure that for all broadcast programmes technical quality is maintained to a satisfactory standard.
