the broadcaster or simultaneous broadcasting service has requested the copyright owner to agree to authorize its broadcast of the work or transmission of the work via simultaneous broadcasting, but an agreement cannot be reached or deliberations about this cannot be entered into;
it is not clear that the author intends to discontinue the broadcast, simultaneous broadcasting or other exploitation of the work;
it is not recognized that there are unavoidable circumstances for the copyright owner's not granting authorization to broadcast the work or transmit it via simultaneous broadcasting.
A work that is broadcast or transmitted via simultaneous broadcasting pursuant to the provisions of the preceding paragraph may also be cablecast, transmitted via area-limited specified input-type automatic public transmission, or communicated publicly through a receiver. In this case, except in a case to which the provisions of Article 38, paragraphs (2) and (3) apply, the person that makes that cablecast, transmits the area-limited specified input-type automatic public transmission, or sends the communication must pay the copyright owner compensation in an amount equivalent to the ordinary rate of royalties.
Upon receipt of an application for the compulsory license referred to in paragraph (1), the Commissioner of the Agency for Cultural Affairs must notify the copyright owner affected by the application of this, and must afford that owner an opportunity to express an opinion, specifying an adequate period of time for this.
文化庁長官は、第一項の裁定の申請があつたときは、その旨を当該申請に係る著作権者に通知し、相当の期間を指定して、意見を述べる機会を与えなければならない。
