Wenn ein Tonträgerhersteller einen Tonträger, der ohne die Verlängerung der Schutzdauer unter die Gemeinfreiheit fiele, nicht veröffentlicht, so gehen die Rechte an der Aufzeichnung der Darbietung auf Antrag des ausübenden Künstlers an diesen über und erlöschen die Rechte am Tonträger.- Therefore, if a phonogram producer does not publish a phonogram, which, but for the term extension, would be in the public domain, the rights in the fixation of the performance shall, upon his request, revert to the performer and the rights in the phonogram shall expire.
