Article 47-4Exploitation of Works Incidental to the Exploitation of Works on a Computer
第四十七条の四（電子計算機における著作物の利用に付随する利用等）
A person may exploit a work that is made available to be exploited on a computer (this is inclusive of exploitation using information and communication technologies; the same applies hereinafter in this Article), in any way and to the extent considered to be necessary, in one of the following cases or in any similar case in which the purpose is to make that work available to be exploited incidentally on a computer so that the relevant work can be smoothly or efficiently exploited on that computer; provided, however, that this does not apply if the action would unreasonably prejudice the interests of the copyright owner in light of the nature or purpose of the work or the circumstances of its exploitation:
電子計算機における利用（情報通信の技術を利用する方法による利用を含む。以下この条において同じ。）に供される著作物は、次に掲げる場合その他これらと同様に当該著作物の電子計算機における利用を円滑又は効率的に行うために当該電子計算機における利用に付随する利用に供することを目的とする場合には、その必要と認められる限度において、いずれの方法によるかを問わず、利用することができる。ただし、当該著作物の種類及び用途並びに当該利用の態様に照らし著作権者の利益を不当に害することとなる場合は、この限りでない。
if the person is exploiting a work on a computer using a copy of that work or is exploiting a work transmitted as a wireless communications or wired telecommunications after having received such a transmission, and if, in the course of the data processing that the computer does in order for that work to be exploited, the person records the work on the recording medium of that computer so that it can smoothly and efficiently perform that data processing;
電子計算機において、著作物を当該著作物の複製物を用いて利用する場合又は無線通信若しくは有線電気通信の送信がされる著作物を当該送信を受信して利用する場合において、これらの利用のための当該電子計算機による情報処理の過程において、当該情報処理を円滑又は効率的に行うために当該著作物を当該電子計算機の記録媒体に記録するとき。
if a person that, in the course of trade, makes available an automatic public transmission server for another person to use for automatic public transmissions records a work that has been made available for automatic public transmission on a recording medium in order to prevent delays or failures of that other person's automatic public transmissions or in order to efficiently transmit a work that has been made available for transmissions so as to relay automatic public transmissions of that work;
if the person is providing data by a means that applies information or communication technologies, and records a work on a recording medium or adapts it in order to undertake the computerized data processing that is necessary to prepare to provide that data smoothly and efficiently.
情報通信の技術を利用する方法により情報を提供する場合において、当該提供を円滑又は効率的に行うための準備に必要な電子計算機による情報処理を行うことを目的として記録媒体への記録又は翻案を行うとき。
A person may exploit a work that is made available to be exploited on a computer, in any way and to the extent considered to be necessary, in one of the following cases or in any similar case in which the purpose is to maintain or recover the possibility of exploiting a work on that computer; provided, however, that this does not apply if the action would unreasonably prejudice the interests of the copyright owner in light of the nature or purpose of the work or the circumstances of its exploitation:
電子計算機における利用に供される著作物は、次に掲げる場合その他これらと同様に当該著作物の電子計算機における利用を行うことができる状態を維持し、又は当該状態に回復することを目的とする場合には、その必要と認められる限度において、いずれの方法によるかを問わず、利用することができる。ただし、当該著作物の種類及び用途並びに当該利用の態様に照らし著作権者の利益を不当に害することとなる場合は、この限りでない。
if, in order to perform maintenance or repairs on a device that has a recording medium built into it, the person temporarily records a work that has been recorded on the recording medium that has been built in to that device (hereinafter in this item and the following item referred to as a "built-in recording medium") on a recording medium other than the built-in recording medium, and then re-records that work onto the built-in recording medium after the maintenance or repairs;
if, in order to replace a device that has a recording medium built into it with another device with the same functions, the person temporarily records a work that has been recorded onto that device's built-in recording medium onto a recording medium other than that built-in recording medium, and then records that work on the built-in recording medium of the device with same functions;
if a person that, in the course of trade, makes available an automatic public transmission server for another person to use for automatic public transmissions records a work on a recording medium for use in recovery in the event that the copy of the work that has been made available for automatic public transmission by that automatic public transmission server is lost or damaged.
