This was obviously the starting point. Under Article 2 of the Directive, the right to authorise or prohibit extends to originals and copies of originals. There would have been no case to discuss if the facts had concerned posters of originals which were now public domain works.

If modern copyright faces a big challenge it is in the area of competition policy and the related area of monopolies that are no longer natural. Complex systems that have some degree of ability to reshape reality to suit them, typically resist reform untill they dramatically suddenly experience the 'fall of Singapore '.John R walkerhttp://johnrwalker.com.aunoreply@blogger.com
