The Rights Of Authors And Related-Rights Subjects To A Special Compensation

Summary/Abstract: In this paper, the authors discuss the rights of authors to be compensated for particular forms of copyright violation and the violation of similar lawprotected rights, that is, to be entitled to a certain compensation from the sale of the technical equipment and other resources used for unauthorized copying and exploitation of their original works. Although this set of rights is not based on the international sources of copyright law, the copyright laws of many countries pay special attention to them because of their financial significance for the authors with such exclusive rights. In this paper, the authors point out that such legal solutions are good and fair, but they also express their doubts about the possibility of enforcing them in practice, since it would be very difficult for the authors to legally obtain the compensation from the copying services, which have nowadays become publishing firms, especially in the field of educational and scientific literature. At the end of the paper, the authors conclude that this and similar sets of copyrights can be useful and profitable for the authors only if the copyright law and related laws are strictly applied and enforced.
