Авторское право - институт гражданского права, является составной частью системы объектов интеллектуальной собственности, которое регулирует отношения, складывающиеся в связи с использованием произведений науки, литературы и искусства. Авторские права как результат творческой деятельности человека по созданию произведений науки, литературы и искусства, регулируется национальными законами и международными конвенциями. Авторское право распространяется на законченные или незаконченные произведения, которые являются результатом творческой деятельности, независимо от назначения и достоинства произведения, а также способа его воспроизведения. Авторские права на произведения литературы, науки, искусства возникают и охраняются с даты создания произведения. Авторское право действует в течение всей жизни автора и 70 лет после его смерти. Право автора на произведение, соавторство, распределение авторских гонораров можно отрегулировать авторским договором. Авторский договор - соглашение об использовании произведения науки или искусства, которое заключается автором с издателями, исполнителями и другими пользователями авторских произведений. Авторский договор может быть заключен правопреемником автора. Заключение авторского договора обязательно, кроме случаев, оговоренных в законе. Обычно авторский договор заключается в письменной форме и регистрируется.

In simple terms, intellectual property is a product of the human intellect that has commercial value. Intellectual property encompasses a wide range of creations—from fiction, poetry, songs, designs and artwork to ads, product names, mechanical inventions, processes, chemical formulas, machines and software. The commercial value of intellectual property comes from the ability of its owner to control its use. If the owner could not legally require payment in exchange for use, ownership of the intellectual property would have intellectual worth but no commercial value.

Susan K. Sell s book shows how power in international politics is increasingly exercised by private interests rather than governments. In 1994 the WTO adopted the Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS), which dictated to states how they should regulate the protection of intellectual property. This book argues that TRIPS resulted from lobbying by twelve powerful CEOs of multinational corporations who wished to mould international law to protect their markets. This book examines the politics leading up to TRIPS, the first seven years of its implementation, and the political backlash against TRIPS in the face of the HIV/AIDS crisis. Focusing on global capitalism, ideas, and economic coercion, this work explains the politics behind TRIPS and the controversies created in its wake. It is a fascinating study of the influence of private interests in government decision-making, and in the shaping of the global economy.

The Author's Dueoffers an institutional and cultural history of books, the book trade, and the bibliographic ego. Joseph Loewenstein traces the emergence of possessive authorship from the establishment of a printing industry in England to the passage of the 1710 Statute of Anne, which provided the legal underpinnings for modern copyright. Along the way he demonstrates that the culture of books, including the idea of the author, is intimately tied to the practical trade of publishing those books. As Loewenstein shows, copyright is a form of monopoly that developed alongside a range of related protections such as commercial trusts, manufacturing patents, and censorship, and cannot be understood apart from them. The regulation of the press pitted competing interests and rival monopolistic structures against one anotherguildmembers and nonprofessionals, printers and booksellers, authors and publishers. These struggles, in turn, crucially shaped the literary and intellectual practices of early modern authors, as well as early capitalist economic organization. With its probing look at the origins of modern copyright, The Author's Duewill prove to be a watershed for historians, literary critics, and legal scholars alike.

Cultura Librees un libro fundamental para comprender los problemas y prejuicios que las nuevas regulaciones sobre la propiedad intelectual imponen sobre el progreso de la cultura y la difusión del conocimiento en el contexto de la sociedad digital. Lessig plantea que la lógica comercial bajo la se están articulando las leyes del copyright(derecho de autor, entre otros) es una de las principales barreras para el desarrollo de la cultura y particularmente en el ámbito digital; la cultura se ha gestado a lo largo de los siglos, a través de citas y creaciones, basadas o inspiradas en el trabajo de otros. Su autor nos muestra cómo desde la aparición Internet se está librando una verdadera batalla entre quienes desean controlar este nuevo espacio de creación y difusión del conocimiento mediante mayores y más restrictivas regulaciones sobre derechos de autor, y quienes promueven los principios de la libre circulación del conocimiento y la información, enfrentándose, en la práctica, el idea de una cultura libre a la del permiso.

Since the rise of Napster and other file-sharing services in its wake, most of us have assumed that intellectual piracy is a product of the digital age and that it threatens creative expression as never before. The Motion Picture Association of America, for instance, claimed that in 2005 the film industry lost $2.3 billion in revenue to piracy online. But here Adrian Johns shows that piracy has a much longer and more vital history than we have realized—one that has been largely forgotten and is little understood. Piracy explores the intellectual property wars from the advent of print culture in the fifteenth century to the reign of the Internet in the twenty-first. Brimming with broader implications for today’s debates over open access, fair use, free culture, and the like, Johns’s book ultimately argues that piracy has always stood at the center of our attempts to reconcile creativity and commerce—and that piracy has been an engine of social, technological, and intellectual innovations as often as it has been their adversary. From Cervantes to Sonny Bono, from Maria Callas to Microsoft, from Grub Street to Google, no chapter in the story of piracy evades Johns’s graceful analysis in what will be the definitive history of the subject for years to come.

Книга основателей первой Пиратской партии Рика Фальквинге и депутата Европарламента Кристиана Энгстрема посвящена проблеме авторского права, то есть самому авторскому праву как проблеме для дальнейшего развития культуры. Возникнув в XVII–XVIII веках, институт копирайта как ограниченной монополии индустрии контента, частично обеспечивавшей его производство, эволюционировал только в одном направлении — упрочения и расширения этой монополии. В нынешнем же виде копирайт потерял свою социальную эффективность и превратился из относительно полезного условия для творца в препятствие для развития культуры в целом. И что? И зачем? И как с этим быть?
