1 Where the owner of an original work of which no further copies exist has reason to assume that the author of the work has a legitimate interest in its preservation, he may not destroy the work without first offering to return it to the author. The owner may not request more than the material value of the work.
2 Where it is not possible to return the work, the owner must make it possible for the author to reproduce the original in an appropriate manner.
3 For works of architecture, the author only has the right to photograph the work and to require that copies of the plans be handed to him at his own expense.
