[pp.int.general] Protest certain musicians?

[Boris Turovskiy]

Hi Signe,
It's indeed a very significant difference that is based upon two 
approaches - the European one (based on notion of author's rights, like 
the German Urheberrecht, the French drit d'auteur or the Russian 
avtorskoe pravo) and the American one (based on the notion of 
copyright). Especially in the international context the distinction has 
to be maintained and discussed.
However, your statement
> For example, the creator's right says that it is not possible to sell 
> the material and ideal rights of a creator's mind works. Which means 
> that the creator is always paid. 
is false, because while the Urheberrecht is indeed non-transferrable and 
unalienable, the Verwertungsrechte ("realization rights" governing the 
profits from the work) can be transferred.

Best regards,
Boris
