\u201cLiterature and art are the backbone of cultural production, and the most traditional form of expression of ideas\u201d, explain Professor Cristiana Sappa <\/a>(Professor of law at I\u00c9SEG) and her co-editor Enrico Bonadio (City, University of London in the UK) in the introduction to the new book on \u201cThe subjects of artistic and literary copyright<\/em><\/strong>\u201d (Edward Elgar Publishing), which they have edited.<\/p>\n\n\n

Their publication examines the topic of copyright from two main perspectives: firstly, the different categories of authors\/creators of art or literature (novelists, poets, journalists, painters, photographers, etc.); and secondly, the organizations that administer or manage these different types of \u2018creations\u2019 (libraries, museums, publishers, galleries, universities etc.).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, copyright was originally introduced for protecting literary and artistic works, however nowadays the main discussion seems to be around the topics of data, AI, software, database. So the book goes back to the origin of the protection, to some extent and looks to provide insightful new perspectives on this important topic.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each of the 13 chapters \u2013 contributed by different international experts \u2013 studies how copyright law (and moral rights) protects different groups of authors and organizations and how they use copyright to protect their interests. They also consider the impact of different legal jurisdictions, including those in the US, EU, UK and France.

The legal and policy issues dealt with in each chapter vary greatly, as each group of authors\/creators or institutions has very specific concerns and needs. While questions and challenges can differ greatly between cultural sectors (literature, industrial design, painting etc) , there can also be diverging even conflicting issues between those creating art and those managing or administering these works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
