Moral rights are held by authors and artists under copyright laws around the world and serve to recognize their role and rights as creators. In the technological context, these rights have acquired a new importance. Moral rights respond to a growing public need for the integrity of knowledge, while providing much-needed support in the struggle against copyright piracy. Crucially, they affirm the basic human dignity of authors and artists everywhere. They offer the potential for new approaches to copyright conflicts - for harmonizing public and private interests, commercial and cultural priorities, copyright and Copyleft, through a time-tested and universally relevant idea. Moral Rights of Authors and Artists: From the Birth of Copyright to the Age of Artificial Intelligence tells the story of moral rights as the idea developed through the ages, from their antecedents in Asia and Europe to their modern emergence in British and European copyright laws, and their recent, reluctant yet powerful acceptance in the United States. It paints an unparalleled comparative picture of copyright law, reaching from North America to Australia and New Zealand, India, Japan, Korea, and all across Continental Europe - drawn from the author''s rich international experience, and her practical insights as an author and artist herself. Above all, this book explores the unprecedented relevance of moral rights in the age of artificial intelligence, where they can help to affirm the importance of human creativity at its most vulnerable. It is a powerful work of illumination and advocacy.

The doctrine of moral rights is based on the idea that authors have a special bond with their own creative work. At present, the legal status of moral rights demands clarification and assessment as never before, particularly as the international expansion of moral rights occurs in the new environment of digital technology. Just as the survival of copyright law depends on its capacity to adapt effectively to the new technological environment, a new approach to moral rights is imperative. Moral Rights: Principles, Practice and New Technology is the first work to comprehensively address the role and challenges of moral rights in an environment of digital technology The problem is addressed from both practical and theoretical channels, and examples drawn from the legislation and practice of key jurisdictions around the world. The book concludes with a consideration of how the concept of moral rights can contribute to the re-organization of copyright law in a digital context.

Intellectual property law faces serious challenges worldwide, with many in the international community arguing that the law fails to provide much-needed support for either individual rights or the public interest in the technological environment. The Cambridge Handbook of Intellectual Property in Central and Eastern Europe offers a novel look at intellectual property issues through the lens of the post-socialist and transitional experience in Central and Eastern European countries. Contributors include both recognized and emerging leaders in their jurisdictions of interest, and experts on US, European Union, and international law. Taken together, they offer a thought-provoking critique of current approaches and build a compelling case for cogent policymaking. This important work reflects the formative experiences of a difficult history, demonstrating the courageous optimism of scholars in a region that has repeatedly overcome the challenges of the past, while consistently looking to its authors and innovators for leadership and inspiration.
