Abstract

The public lending right is one of the patrimonial rights recognized in favor of the authors of written works, but which, from its regulation in Law no. 8/1996 on copyright and related rights in 2004 and so far, has not been effectively implemented in practice. Therefore, the authors of the written works were not remunerated for the use of their works made by the public lending from libraries. The article follows the legislative regulations in Romania regarding the public lending right, the proposals to amend and supplement Law no. 8/1996 and the controversies in the field.
