Abstract

Is copyright a property right? A personality right? A sui generis right?

Establishing the legal nature of copyright is an issue which has aroused and continues to arouse a number of controversies in the literature, showing on the one hand fierce debates in doctrine and, on the other hand, different legislative establishments from country to country, all reflecting counter visions on what it is or should be copyright in its legal essence.

Here it is my plea for defining the copyright as a personality right.
