Derechos de autor de los periodistas: el caso de los resúmenes de prensa

Abstract

The problems about authors' rights appear and reappear frequently and, just like it happens in some other intellectual jobs, and every time the law is renewed it must confront the problems brought by the new technological advances. The chance of doing digital copies exact to the original, and of offering virtually to everyone connected to the Internet the intellectual work, has got the traditional problems worse. The statutes of the different European countries, which the EU directives want to harmonise, try to give a solution to all these problems. The economic agents try to reach their positions as well. Using legal terms, the author –who, we do not need to remember it, has all the rights from the origin- and the cesionary of all or part of the economic rights –generally, enterprises-, as well as third parties who try, caliming sometimes for the protection given by the mention right of the exception of the press review, get ome profit from the others, are amongst a conflict of interest which the negotiations based on the Law will solve.
