This thesis examines the intersection between authors' moral rights and conflict-of-laws. The research question has been triggered by two important, interlinked factors. The first is that the currently applicable choice-of-law rules to moral rights are the same as those applicable to copyright. The second concerns the fact that moral rights are different from copyright - both in their nature and in the interest they aim to protect. Since these two factors coincide, it is questionable whether it ought to be the case that moral rights are subjected to the same choice-of-law rules as are applicable to copyright. The thesis therefore aims to discover whether the currently applicable choice-oflaw rules available in the context of moral rights are suitable for achieving the goals and objectives of conflict-of-laws. In the course of this thesis, I evaluate the potential validity of detaching moral rights from copyright in conflict-oflaws and instead attaching it to the characterization model of general personality rights. The research question is mainly addressed from the perspective of Rome I and Rome II Regulations. However, as there is no EU harmonization concerning general personality rights in conflict-of-laws, the examination will be directed towards France and England as examples of civil and common law traditions. Moreover, reference will also be made to CLIP and ALI principles by reason of comparison.

The topic of the paper is integrity right implementation problems. Author‘s right of integrity is on the list of international obligations since the beginning of the XIX century and has to be made available by all Berne convention members‘ national laws. However this International obligation only imlies a minimum standart for integrity right protection, thereby it‘s implementation issues are to be solved at national level. The goal of the paper is identification and analysis of integrity right implementation problems in modern states under the rule of law. Accordingly different legal regulation is one of the main issues of the topic. Establishing conflicts between authors and their work users, identifying persons of law in the integrity right is a great part of this paper. Consequently different sides of the conflick of interests are being elaborated, most frequent dispute cases and ways of solving them are being analised in the light of different legal regulation. His paper also contains legal tradicions of implementing integrity right in continential and common law countries that are being compared to each other, as well as different copyright laws in separate countries and court practice (lithuanian and foreign).

L’appel au renforcement de la protection du droit d’auteur dans le but de mieux lutter contre la contrefaçon, surtout avec l’avènement et le développement incessant des nouvelles technologies, est-il justifié ? Le bilan des efforts déployés récemment sur la scène internationale pour réaliser un tel renforcement, ayant débouché sur l’élaboration du très controversé ACTA, démontre que la réponse à cette question ne peut être ni simple ni immédiate. Evaluer l’opportunité et déterminer la nécessité de renforcer cette protection ne peuvent se faire qu’après un examen approfondi des solutions juridiques, existantes déjà dans les dispositifs nationaux des deux Etats qui assurent chacun une protection efficace des droits des auteurs, tout en adoptant des approches diamétralement opposées en la matière à savoir, la France et les Etats-Unis. Une fois ces deux droits comparés, une inégalité dans le niveau de protection ressort, appelant des améliorations qui passent par une intégration d’institutions juridiques « venues d’ailleurs ». Cette intégration qui aura pour résultat d’harmoniser ces deux droits, dans le respect des particularismes nationaux, pourra se réaliser à l’aide du droit comparé. L’harmonisation des droits nationaux dans le respect de leurs différences est aussi l’oeuvre du droit international surtout lorsqu’il s’agit d’une matière qui ne peut être traitée qu’à l’échelle internationale, voire mondiale. Pour pouvoir comprendre les raisons de la persistance des différences entre les deux droits menant à cette inégalité, l’examen des instruments internationaux adoptés en la matière, censés harmoniser la protection du droit d’auteur, est indispensable. Le bilan de cet examen s’avère mitigé dans la mesure où, les spécificités nationales l’emportent, bloquant ainsi le processus d’harmonisation. Or, le droit comparé a comme rôle principal de préparer un terrain favorable à une harmonisation internationale réussie, en dégageant des solutions concrètes, pratiques et surtout adaptées puisque ne heurtant pas les traditions juridiques nationales qu’il aura réussi à identifier<br>Is the call to strengthen the protection of copyright in order to better fight copyright infringement, especially with the advent and the constant development of new technologies, justified? The results of the recent efforts on the international stage to achieve such a purpose, which led to the drawing up of the very controversial ACTA, show that the answer to this question cannot be simple nor immediate. Assessing the appropriateness as well as determining the need to strengthen this protection can only be made after a thorough review of legal solutions that already exist in the domestic law of two states, each of which ensures effective protection of copyright while adopting diametrically opposite approaches in this field namely, France and the United States. Once these two domestic laws have been compared, inequality in the level of protection appears, calling for improvements that go through an integration of legal institutions "coming from somewhere else". This integration that will have as a result the harmonization of these two laws while taking into account the national specificities, can be realized using the comparative law. The harmonization of national laws while respecting their differences is the work of international law as well, especially when the subject matter could only be addressed on an international even global scale. To understand the reasons for the persistence of differences between these two laws leading to this inequality, review of international instruments adopted in this field which are supposed to harmonize the protection of copyright, is essential. The results of this review are mixed due to the fact that national differences prevail, thus blocking the harmonization process. However, comparative law's primary role is to prepare the ground for a successful international harmonization, by providing concrete, practical and appropriate solutions given the fact that they do not conflict with national legal traditions that the comparative law has managed to identify

Le droit d’exposition des oeuvres graphiques et plastiques est un élément nouveau du droit d’auteur, dégagé par la Cour de cassation en 2002. Il permet à l’auteur d’autoriser ou d’interdire l’exposition publique de ses oeuvres, qu’elles soient de dessin, de peinture, de sculpture, de photographie, d’architecture ou de tout autre oeuvre graphique. Ce droit lui permet aussi d’en contrôler les conditions de présentation et d’en tirer une rémunération. Il est en cela assimilable au droit de représentation, tel qu’il s’exerce pour les oeuvres dramatiques ou musicales. Mais le droit d’exposition ouvre des problématiques nouvelles pour le droit d’auteur. En effet, son objet ne peut être qu’une chose corporelle, qu’il s’agisse de l’exemplaire original de l’oeuvre ou de toute autre copie. Par conséquent, cela oblige à reconsidérer la nature du droit d’auteur, que l’on qualifie usuellement de droit sur « l’immatériel », cette notion étant plus adaptée pour les oeuvres littéraires, dramatiques ou musicales. Cette évolution remet en question le sens même de l’expression « propriété incorporelle », telle qu’elle est employée par le Code de la propriété intellectuelle. Le droit d’exposition interroge donc les fondements du droit d’auteur et bouleverse son contenu et sa portée. La thèse apporte les réponses aux questions qui sont posées par ces problématiques. Ainsi, il sera démontré que l’expression « propriété incorporelle » ne qualifie que la propriété du droit de l’auteur, considéré comme un bien, et non celle de l’oeuvre à proprement parler. En cela, la distinction entre cette propriété et la propriété de l’objet matériel doit être entendue le plus strictement, c’est-à-dire comme une simple distinction des droits. De même, le caractère novateur du droit d’exposition révèle que le droit d’auteur a davantage été conçu pour les oeuvres littéraires, dramatiques et musicales, et non pour les oeuvres graphiques et plastiques. De ce fait, le droit d’exposition concourt également à une harmonisation des prérogatives conférées aux auteurs au titre de la propriété littéraire et artistique<br>The visual artists display right is a new part of the author’s copyright, introduced by the French supreme court in 2002. It implies, for the author, the right to authorize or prohibit the public exhibition of his works, such as paintings, sculptures, photographs, architectural works or any work of graphic or plastic art. This right also gives the author a control over the conditions of presentation of the work and allows him to exploit it financially. It is similar to the performing right for dramatic and musical works. But the visual artists display right is the cause of new problems about intellectual property. Indeed, the exhibition is based on a physical thing in which the work is embodied. Therefore, we need to examine the nature of copyright, which is considered to have an intangible subject-matter. This concept is more convenient for literary, dramatic and musical works. This development calls the terms “intangible property” into questions, as they are used by the French copyright law. The visual artists display right shakes the very foundations of copyright and upsets its own structure. This thesis is intended to examine theses problems. Thus it appears that the terms “intangible property” refer to the property of the author’s right itself, as a possession, instead of the property of the work. That’s why the distinction between this property and the property of the tangible item should be considered as a distinction between two rights. In addition, the innovative nature of the visual artists display right shows that copyright has more been provided for literary, dramatic and musical works, than for the artistic works. This right also contributes to the harmonization of the literary and artistic property

Numerous statements and declarations have been made over recent decades in support of open access to research data. The growing recognition of the importance of open access to research data has been accompanied by calls on public research funding agencies and universities to facilitate better access to publicly funded research data so that it can be re-used and redistributed as public goods. International and inter-governmental bodies such as the ICSU/CODATA, the OECD and the European Union are strong supporters of open access to and re-use of publicly funded research data. This thesis focuses on the research data created by university researchers in Malaysian public universities whose research activities are funded by the Federal Government of Malaysia. Malaysia, like many countries, has not yet formulated a policy on open access to and re-use of publicly funded research data. Therefore, the aim of this thesis is to develop a policy to support the objective of enabling open access to and re-use of publicly funded research data in Malaysian public universities. Policy development is very important if the objective of enabling open access to and re-use of publicly funded research data is to be successfully achieved. In developing the policy, this thesis identifies a myriad of legal impediments arising from intellectual property rights, confidentiality, privacy and national security laws, novelty requirements in patent law and lack of a legal duty to ensure data quality. Legal impediments such as these have the effect of restricting, obstructing, hindering or slowing down the objective of enabling open access to and re-use of publicly funded research data. A key focus in the formulation of the policy was the need to resolve the various legal impediments that have been identified. This thesis analyses the existing policies and guidelines of Malaysian public universities to ascertain to what extent the legal impediments have been resolved. An international perspective is adopted by making a comparative analysis of the policies of public research funding agencies and universities in the United Kingdom, the United States and Australia to understand how they have dealt with the identified legal impediments. These countries have led the way in introducing policies which support open access to and re-use of publicly funded research data. As well as proposing a policy supporting open access to and re-use of publicly funded research data in Malaysian public universities, this thesis provides procedures for the implementation of the policy and guidelines for addressing the legal impediments to open access and re-use.

While much has been written on the Australian film and television industry, little has been presented by actual producers, filmmakers and technicians of their time and experiences within that same industry. Similarly, with historical documentaries, it has been academics rather than filmmakers who have led the debate. This thesis addresses this shortcoming and bridges the gap between practitioner experience and intellectual discussion, synthesising the debate and providing an important contribution from a filmmaker-academic, in its own way unique and insightful. The thesis is presented in two voices. First, my voice, the voice of memoir and recollected experience of my screen adventures over 38 years within the Australian industry, mainly producing historical documentaries for the ABC and the SBS. This is represented in italics. The second half and the alternate chapters provide the industry framework in which I worked with particular emphasis on documentaries and how this evolved and developed over a 40-year period, from 1970 to 2010. Within these two voices are three layers against which this history is reviewed and presented. Forming the base of the pyramid is the broad Australian film industry made up of feature films, documentary, television drama, animation and other types and styles of production. Above this is the genre documentary within this broad industry, and making up the small top tip of the pyramid, the sub-genre of historical documentary. These form the vertical structure within which industry issues are discussed. Threading through it are the duel determinants of production: ‘the market’ and ‘funding’. Underpinning the industry is the involvement of government, both state and federal, forming the three dimensional matrix for the thesis. For over 100 years the Australian film industry has depended on government support through subsidy, funding mechanisms, development assistance, broadcast policy and legislative provisions. This thesis aims to weave together these industry layers, binding them with the determinants of the market and funding, and immersing them beneath layers of government legislation and policy to present a new view of the Australian film industry.

This thesis provides an insight into the current position of moral rights of authors and outlines the perspectives of the doctrine of moral rights in international copyright regime of the 21st century. Such survey is particularly urgent at a time when the doctrine of droit moral, one of the most contentious and controversial issues in copyright, is now in an international spotlight again. The recent decade has seen two contradictory trends in the field of international copyright. The 1994 Uruguay Round saw the emergence of new global intellectual property regime, embodied in the TRIPs Agreement, which elevates copyright into a new stage of development by linking it for the first time with international trade and technology and by substantially widening the scope of its governance. However, this new instrument is almost exclusively concerned with protecting the rights belonging to owners, endorsing the 'sanctity of property', but practically eliminating the protection of the original creators' non-economic, moral rights. Against this background, the 1990's have witnessed an unprecedented commitment to the protection of artist's moral rights in countries that in the past were the strongest opponents of any such notion within their copyright regimes. The question of moral rights has always been considered an issue where a wider international consensus is impossible due to the traditional rift between civil law's authors' rights and common law's copyright philosophies. However, in a world where the protection of intellectual property is increasingly viewed on an international basis - of necessity, because of technological and economic developments - a global consensus on this issue is inevitable. By reviewing the justificatory schemata underlying the doctrine of droit moral and by analyzing the recent statutory developments in several common law jurisdictions in this arena, as well as the concession made by moral rights-devout civilian jurisdictions, this thesis shows that the gap between the two systems is no longer insurmountable. The analysis reveals that despite the underlying philosophical differences, a substantial degree of convergence of copyright and author's rights is occurring, and outlines the sites of consolidation which can serve as a basis for a possible future international agreement on this issue.

碩士<br>東吳大學<br>法律學系<br>102<br>Abstract Due to advances in technology, the complexity of creation has increased and Professional Services come of age. Most creation can only be created with multiple people’s collaboration instead of one single person’s work. Among these collaborated creations, most of them are under employment conditions. Especially in Newspaper Offices, Advertising Agencies, Construction Companies, and Computer Software Companies, almost every creation is completed collaboratively. For these creations, copyright laws usually focus on their intellectual property aspects while the moral rights of them are seldom discussed. Thus, the moral rights ownership of productions created under employment conditions rarely gets enough attention as it should be. This research compares the difference of the moral rights protection between Taiwan and the US from legislation and practical aspects, and discusses the related research under scholar and expert and judicial practices. Finally, with this research grasping the essence of moral rights protection of the US as reference, the moral rights protection laws of Taiwan can be revised to improve the communication and understanding of employed creations between the creation owners and users, to reconcile the employment relations, and to mutual opposition and conflict by mitigating the obstacles and misunderstandings caused by moral rights.

This legal policy thesis asks: Is sampling so inconsistent with copyright that it warrants a unique system? Sampling is the musical practice of arranging new recordings from existing recordings. Often, it conflicts with copyright, a legal system that aims to encourage progress and innovation, primarily by granting exclusive rights as incentives to create and distribute original works. Two countervailing positions in existing literature articulate the conflict between sampling and copyright. The first views sampling as an appropriative practice that subverts copyright safeguards against unauthorised copying and adaptation. If this is true, then appropriation art cannot be reconciled with copyright law in any stable, lasting or meaningful manner. The second views copyright as an excessive restraint on creativity, a leash on artists. Scholars holding this position point to copyright's longstanding discrimination against sampling, evident from US copyright cases restricting 1990s hip-hop artists and admonishing one sampling artist with biblical commandment: 'Thou shalt not steal'. This thesis argues that sampling can align with the purpose of copyright to encourage progress and innovation. It shows how sampling is consistent with originality, the core concept that separates the copyright wheat from the unprotected chaff. Originality calls not for the conjuring of material from thin air, but rather the rearrangement of prior works, genres and conventions. By locating rearrangement at the heart of originality, we can see that sampling can contribute to the body of original works and therefore the purpose of copyright. In doing so, this thesis shows that sampling conflicts with the operation of copyright, as expressed in international treaty, national laws and industry conventions. While amending the operation of copyright is difficult, it is possible and indeed desirable to reform copyright to encourage rearrangement, not because it enables sampling, but because it promotes originality. Building on the concept that the rearrangement of past material is the foundation of originality, this thesis explains two potential policy responses to promote originality. Encouraging transformative use, as a conceptual foundation for fair use exceptions, can promote the rearrangement of existing original works into new original works. Likewise, ex post monitoring, as an alternative to ex ante licensing, can enable tolerated uses, incremental originality and distributed innovation at the scale of digital platforms.

The aim of this master's thesis is to probe into copyright, especially the moral rights that are inevitably included. Due to the complexity of terminology in intellectual property law, which includes the copyright, it is first provided an overview of intellectual property rights and somewhat as highlighting of some changes that were caused by the adoption of the new Civil Code, particularly with regards to the change of perspective in the conception of a thing in a legal sense. After this lets say general introduction to intellectual property rights the main focus passes to the definition of basic copyright terminology and there are outlined the principles by which is our copyright controlled. For a better understanding of moral rights in copyright it is explained what the nature of those rights actually is, together with the definition of basic approaches to moral rights and property rights as well and of course in relation to differentiation from general personality rights, i.e. those that lack the aspect of the creative nature. Due to the recodification of private law, especially the inheritance law, it is also pointed out that according to the current regulation author's commands not to disclose his particular work is not for the purposes of inheritance proceedings just a wishful thinking, but...

Moral rights in copyright Abstract This thesis, after a brief introduction to the issue of copyright, defines the basic concepts relating to author's moral rights and its nature. It provides an insight into the issue from various different points of view, focusing on the natural nature of moral rights and the natural nature of an author's work, that is reflected in the copyright legislation. The thesis also offers a comparison of two major legal systems of copyright - the authors' right system and the copyright system, which demonstrate the key institutes and characterize both legal cultures through their typical features and differences. The thesis draws attention to the fact that the regulation of copyright and moral rights in particular is far from uniform in the national context and that there are significant differences not only between the different legal systems but also within those legal systems. The thesis also presents copyright and moral rights in valid Czech legislation in terms of the systemic and conceptual definition of the Czech copyright law and then discusses in detail the individual moral rights of authors. An important part of this thesis is the issue of originality as one of the conceptual features of the work. The thesis explains the role of the Court of Justice of the European Union...

Moral rights in the Czech Republic and in selected countries of continental and Common Law legal systems Abstract This thesis focuses on moral rights, which together with economic rights form one of basic ways how to divide copyright law. The primary function of moral (copyright) rights is to protect various rights of the author, which are not economic rights. In the introduction part of this thesis there are basic definitions and specifications of moral rights and their genesis in the continental legal system. The second chapter explains the different approach to moral copyright in the continental legal system and in the Common Law legal system, including a short historical excursion into those legal systems. The third chapter is briefly dedicated to the development of copyright law with the emphasis on moral rights during the 18th century, explanation of the difference between one-tier and two-tier approach to copyright law and certain issues regarding the territoriality of law. It also contains relevant legal acts that were in force in the Czech Republic during the 20th and partially during the 19th century. The fourth chapter consists of thorough explanation concerning each type of moral rights in the Copyright act that is currently in force in the Czech Republic. The fifth chapter is devoted to moral...

Диссертация является первым в отечественной науке гражданского права специальным комплексным исследованием теоретических проблем реализации и защиты права физического лица на собственное изображение. Исследованы общие подходы к определению юридической природы, содержания права физического лица на собственное изображение и его соотношению с правами интеллектуальной собственности. Предложен концептуальный подход к пониманию права на собственное изображение как субъективного гражданского права, которому присущи такие признаки: наличие органических, функциональных связей, а также связей взаимодействия с правами интеллектуальной собственности; двойная природа (является одновременно неимущественным и имущественным правом); отсутствие неразрывной связи с субъектом-носителем; направленность на удовлетворение неимущественных и имущественных интересов физического лица. Определены изображение человека как нематериальное благо, его признаки, факторы, влияющие на создание и изменение, а также соотношение с внешним обликом как личным неимущественным благом физического лица, его признаками и факторами, влияющими на формирование и изменение. Проанализированы различные формы объективизации изображения человека во взаимосвязи с интересами физического лица, которые могут быть затронуты при создании и использовании изображения человека. Охарактеризованы правоотношения в сфере создания и использования изображения человека, определены особенности объектного, субъектного состава и содержания данных правоотношений. Исследован вопрос о презумпции согласия физического лица на проведение фото-, видео-, кино-, телесъемки. Проанализирован критерий открытости съемки как действий субъекта, её осуществляющую, в соотношении с осознанностью её восприятия субъектом, в отношении которого она осуществляется. Предложена классификация места нахождения человека во время съемки как основа для определения объективных и разумных ожиданий уединится и ограничить доступ посторонних к определенным событиям личной жизни. Охарактеризован договорной механизм регулирования отношений, возникающих при создании и распространении изображения человека. Раскрыты особенности использования изображения людей при продвижении, одобрении товаров и услуг субъектов предпринимательской деятельности. Рассмотрены последствия нарушений договорных обязательств и сделан вывод о взаимовлиянии репутации субъектов, производящих товары и услуги и репутации лица, одобряющего или продвигающего такие товары и услуги. Сформулирована система принципов и критериев определения правомерности создания и распространения изображений людей. С учетом анализа национальной и зарубежной судебной практики сделан вывод о необходимости применения этих критериев в совокупности для определения правомерности использования изображения. На основании судебной и юридической практики определен перечень фактов, подлежащих доказыванию при нарушении права на собственное изображение. Сделан вывод об эффективности применения различных способов защиты прав и интересов физических лиц, изображенных на фотографиях и в иных художественных произведениях. Сформулированы научно обоснованные предложения по совершенствованию гражданско-правового регулирования отношений в сфере создания и использования изображения человека, механизма правовой охраны права физического лица на собственное изображение.<br>The thesis for the degree of Doctor of Law in the specialty 12.00.03 - Civil Law and Civil Procedure; Family law; International Private Law. - National University «Odessa law Academy», Odessa, 2017. The thesis is the first in the native science of civil law special comprehensive research of theoretical problems of realization and protection of the right of natural person to the own image. The general scientific approaches to the definition of nature and content of the right of individuals to their own image are studied, as well as its correlation to intellectual property rights is clarified. The author’s concept of the protection of the right of natural person to the own image is provided. The dissertation reveals the correlation of such categories as «the appearance of individual» and «the image of individual» as civil categories, their characteristics and factors influencing the formation and change of these objects. The certain types of images are identified in conjunction with the protected by law rights and interests of the represented person. The objective and subjective composition of legal relations for realization and protection of the right of natural person to the own image is characterized, the mechanism of legal regulation of relations in this sphere is described. The limits of exercise of the right to the own image is formulated, the system of principles and criteria for determining the legality of a free creating and use of the individual’s image is represented. The legal terms and ways of realization of the right of natural person to the own image are substantiated, in particular by giving the consent and conclusion of contract on creation and use of the individual’s image. The peculiarities of the circumstances, which are subject to proof while defending the right of natural person to the own image, are specified, and the effectiveness of particular civil-law methods of protection considering judicial practice is defined. Scientifically based proposals are formulated for improvement of civil legal regulation of relations in the sphere of creation and use of the image of individual, mechanism of legal protection of the right of natural person to the own image.
