All has been quiet on the Lawdit Music blog front (because we have been very busy with other aspects of the business), as such a number of Lawdit Reading Room articles have passed by without mention on the bllog. The aim of this post is simply to highlight those articles that you may be interested in but that we may not havve brought to your attention:
Exclusive rights of a copyright owner – In the first of this series of articles we looked at what primary infringement is. Now we go into more detail regarding copying, issuing copies to the public and rental and lending. There is also a second article here.
Primary Copyright Infringement – There are two types of copyright infringement, primary infringement and secondary infringement. This article looks at what primary infringement is.
Copyright in a song – I often receive phone calls from songwriters confused about what rights they own in a song, this article looks into the various rights in a given song.
Secondary copyright infringement – There are 5 acts that constitute secondary copyright infringement. This article outlines these 5 acts.
International conventions – There are two major international conventions that ensure that signatories have certain minimum provisions to their copyright laws and that authors from other signatory states receive the same treatment and rights as nationals from the original siignatory. This brief note looks at the Berne Convention 1886 (‘Berne Convention’) and the Universal Copyright Convention 1952 (‘UCC’).
