Article 47-3Reproduction by the Owner of a Copy of a Work of Computer Programming; Related Matters

第四十七条の三(プログラムの著作物の複製物の所有者による複製等)

The owner of a copy of a work of computer programming may reproduce that work to the extent that this is found to be necessary in order for the owner to execute the work on a computer by themselves; provided, however, that this does not apply where the provisions of Article 113, paragraph (5) apply to the use that is made of such copies in connection with its execution.

プログラムの著作物の複製物の所有者は、自ら当該著作物を電子計算機において実行するために必要と認められる限度において、当該著作物を複製することができる。ただし、当該実行に係る複製物の使用につき、第百十三条第五項の規定が適用される場合は、この限りでない。

After the owner of a copy referred to in the preceding paragraph (including copies made pursuant to the provisions of that paragraph) ceases to own one of the copies of the work for reasons other than the destruction thereof, the owner may not preserve other copies of the work if the copyright owner has not specifically manifested the intention to permit this.

前項の複製物の所有者が当該複製物(同項の規定により作成された複製物を含む。)のいずれかについて滅失以外の事由により所有権を有しなくなつた後には、その者は、当該著作権者の別段の意思表示がない限り、その他の複製物を保存してはならない。
