From the Statute of Anne to Mickey Mouse• Background
• Brief history of IPR and copyrights

Copyrights?
Rights of the author?
Intellectual Property Rights!

Intellectual Property Rights
• Semiconductor right
• Breeder’s right
• Domain name right

And also important…
• Everyone has rights on their own appearance –portrait right (integrity of appearance)
Copyrights
• Where they come from?
Typically Western-European culture phenomenon
Until the invention of book printing there was no mention of exclusive rights on intellectual works. From then on the authorities grant exclusive bookprinting rights to printers, not to authors.
Copyrights
• Where they come from?
• The Statute of Anne (England 1710) • Recognise authors as principal rightsholders and respects
the integrity og their work.
• Duration of exclsuive rights restricted to (2x) 14 years, afterwhich the work automatically transits to the publc domain
• (start of “legal deposit”)
• “…the emphasis on the practical or utilitarian importance (…) attached to knowledge and its encouragement in the scheme of human progress”
• Copyright is a "private right" that serves the rights of the individual creator
Copyrights
• National/local until Convention of Berne (1886) regulating copyrights between sovereign countries
Copyrights
• Convention of Berne• Copyright is automatically assigned to every creative
work. No need to have creative works registered forcopyright, no need to claim their own rights.
• Terms of copyright are minimally 50 years after the life of the author. (Afterwards the work can freely be distributed and adapted.)In the European Union nowadays 70 years after the death of the author.
Copyrights
• Convention of Berne• Part of the TRIPS Agreement (WTO), hance globally
accepted
• Further documented and disseminated by WIPO (UN)
• National implementation and interpretation, seejurisdiction
Copyrights
• Copyrights appear in law text: e.g. Belgian Law of 30 June 1994 regarding the Copyright and Related Rights
Copyrights
• Copyrights appear in law text: e.g. Belgian Law of 30 June 1994 regarding the Copyright and Related Rights
• Copyright infringement is a crime
• Copyright on a work exists “on behald of a naturalperson”
• A protected work should be original but does notneed to have artistic value
Copyrights
Exploitation rights of the author:
• Reproduction (also adapt, translate, lend, distribute etc.)
• Publishing (public performance)
Exclusive but transferable
Copyrights
Moral rrights of the creator:
• Right to make the work public (“divulgation”)
• Right to reclaim or refuse parenthood (remainunknown)
• Right for integrity, respect for the creation
These are not transferable
Related rights
• Performers (live or recording)
• Retain their moral rights (mentioned on credits, etc.), but deny exploitation rights (-> producer/editor/concert organiser etc.)
• 50 years
Why copyrights?
FOR
• Simple
• Ptotection of the creator, incentivises creativity, encourages innovation and creation
• Helps protect the integrity of a work
Why not copyrights?
Against
• Makes reuse more difficult and hampers creativity
• Complex and unsure
• Aimed at creation, not on use and reuse
• Advantage for large (media) companies, not forthe individual creator
That ‘s the law explained at its simplest…Laws are not the whole picture, daily use is another story
Copyrights… User rights…
