Zakon predpisuje obvezno kolektivno upravljanje pravic do priobčitve javnosti neodrskih glasbenih del (male pravice), ne pove pa, katera dela se štejejo za neodrska. To povzroča nejasnosti, ko se glasbeno delo priobči drugače, kakor je bilo prvotno namenjeno, na primer, če se pesem uporabi v dramski predstavi ali če se operna glasba predvaja po radiu. Avtor ugotavlja, da za razmejitev med kolektivnim in individualnim uveljavljanjem avtorskih pravic na glasbi ni odločilen namen, za katerega je bila glasba ustvarjena, ali narava glasbenega dela, ampak način njegove priobčitve javnosti. Odrska priobčitev javnosti glasbenega dela je takšna, kjer je glasba integralni del dramsko-glasbene odrske postavitve.

Slovenian law prescribes compulsory collective management of rights of communication to the public of non-stage musical works (small rights), but does not define which works are considered non-stage. This creates confusion in cases where musical work is performed in a different way than the one for which it was originally intended, e.g. if a song is used in a theatrical performance or if a piece of opera music is played on the radio. The article finds that the purpose for which music was created and the nature of musical work are not essential for the separation between collective and individual exercise of copyright in music, but rather the manner in which music is communicated to the public. Stage performance of a musical work in the sense of the above provision of the law is such where music forms an integral part of the dramatic-musical stage arrangement.
