Copyright
Copyright used to be called copyright. The original meaning of copyright is (edition and right), which is the right of reproduction. This is because printing technology was not popular in the past. At that time, society believed that the most important right attached to a work was the right to print and publish it, so it was called this. However, with the evolution of the times and the advancement of technology, the types of works have gradually increased.
The British "Anna Act", the world's first copyright law, began to protect the rights of authors, not just publishers. In 1791, France promulgated the "Performance Rights Law" and began to attach importance to protecting the author's performance rights. In 1793, the "Author's Rights Act" was promulgated, and the author's moral rights received further attention.
Substantial conditions refer to the legal requirements for works. There are generally two standards. One standard is that as long as specific thoughts or emotions are given a certain literary and artistic form, whether this form is the entire work or part of it, and it does not matter whether the work has taken a certain material form and been fixed, it can be legally Considered a protected work.
Another standard is that, in addition to meeting the general conditions of being a work, that is, being expressed in a certain literary and artistic form, it also requires that this form be fixed through a material carrier Only by doing so can you obtain copyright protection. According to this standard, oral works and some improvised dance, music, and folk art works may be excluded from the protection of copyright law.
Article 2 of the Berne Convention stipulates that it is up to each country to decide whether to provide copyright protection for works that have not been fixed in a material carrier. Our country’s copyright law adopts the first standard. Oral works, etc. can all be protected by copyright law. Therefore, the so-called substantive conditions refer to the legal and literaryThe creation of an artistic work is the only legal fact for obtaining copyright.
Moral rights refer to the author’s legal right to obtain reputation, prestige and maintain the integrity of the work by creating works that express his or her personal style. This right is reserved to the author for life and is non-transferable, non-deprivable and non-restrictable. After the author's death, it is generally protected by his heirs or legal institutions.
According to the provisions of China's Copyright Law, personal rights include: the right of publication, which is the right to decide whether a work is published to the public; the right of signature, which is to indicate the identity of the author. The right to sign a work; the right to modify, that is, the right to modify or authorize others to modify the work; the right to protect the integrity of the work, that is, the right to protect the work from distortion or tampering.
