Hello,<br><br>after all the discussions about the topic, I would like to bring a new point into it.<br><br>In Germany, we have a legal difference between the copyright (which regulates commericial activity) and the so-called "Urheberrecht" (creator's right; <a href="http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urheberrecht">http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urheberrecht</a>). This creator's right describes the subjective and absolute right which protects the ideal and material interests of th autother on his mind works.<span style="background-color: rgb(230, 236, 249);" onmouseover="_tipon(this)" onmouseout="_tipoff()"><br>
<br></span>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. Contrarily, following the copyright, a creator is allowed to sell the rights on his mind works. An example are the rights for the Beatles songs, that Micheal Jackson bought. With the creator's right, this would not have been possible. Instead, the Beatles would always have the rights on their songs and so been paid regularly.<br>
<br>Why not pick up this aspect in the discussion? Might this be a point which would be interesting for artists worldwide?<br><br>Brgds<br>Signe<br><br><span style="background-color: rgb(230, 236, 249);" onmouseover="_tipon(this)" onmouseout="_tipoff()"></span><br>
