The essence of the dispute electronics manufacturers and authors is to cover, arousing the public some controversy, reprographic fees of blank media, and in particular its extension to smartphones and tablets, as they have memory and allow the reproduction of copies of works in the form of files. A list of categories of equipment covered by reprographic fees set out in the Regulation of the Minister of Culture and National Heritage should be structured and updated, and the proponent of this view are the creators themselves. On the other hand, the extension of reprographic charge for smartphones and tablets cause reduction of the profitability of manufacturers and importers of equipment that compensate for the loss by raising their prices, as a consequence of which would pay customers.
