[pp.int.general] copyright vs. "droit d'auteur"

[Richard M Stallman]

    "right" to a work that's derived by one's creative activities
    stretches a lot further back than even Gutenberg. It's present even in
    family heirlooms of bronze age clans (such as clan patterns on axes or
    tools, for instance).

If I understand you correctly, that is something like a coat of arms.
If so, it is nothing at all like copyright, and has nothing to do with
"one's creative activities".  (A symbol need not be creative to do its
job.)

The term "intellectual property", with its WIPO definition, leads
people towards transferring what they know about copyright law (such
as, that it concerns the results of creativity) to the other laws
included in that definition.  Most often, these transfers lead to
incorrect conclusions, since the laws are not similar.
