ByCharles SwanCopyright is a property right and therefore a human right protected under Article 1 of the First Protocol of the European Convention on Human Rights. Is the right to property a more or less important card in the human rights pack than the Article 10 right to freedom of expression?

The Ashby Donald v France decision last month in the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg reminds us that copyright is, at least in theory, an open platform. Copyright law strikes its own balance between an author’s right to property and the public’s right to information, but copyright is by its nature an interference with the right to freedom of expression. Copyright decisions by European courts are open to scrutiny by the ECHR.

Excerpt:

On Friday September 26th 2008 the disputed Orphan Works bill passed the Senate in the USA. Orphan Works (OW) are copyrighted works, where the copyright owner cannot be tracked down : the new legislation would enable users to reproduce works after “diligent search” but without facing the huge damages provided by US copyright law.

These two case studies were presented at the CEPIC Congress 2008 Malta: "The Intrusion Of Privacy" by Rupert Grey and "The Evolution Of French Jurisprudence" by Prof Theo Hassler. The "Summary Of Seminar" has been written by Franck Perrier.

These case studies show that France and the UK have gotten closer into their appreciation of the bondaries between the right to privacy v. the right to information. "The landscape of privacy in the UK is undergoing what promises to be a seismic change" tells us Rupert Grey, while Prof. Theo Hassler points to the most recent legal cases in France providing for three major exceptions in stringent French privacy right ("droit à l'image").

Excerpt:

Since we met last June in Florence [2007], the United States Congress has been quiet, at least with respect to amending the Copyright Act. This may change soon. This February [2008], the staff at the Copyright Office
briefed the congressional staffers who are responsible for drafting copyright laws on the status of Orphan Works legislation. While the Copyright Office and Congress hope to pass some sort of orphan works (or unlocatable copyright owner) legislation this session, 2008 is an election year.
