Summary/Abstract: Judgments of the Polish Supreme Court on the subject of social insurance for performing artists have caused controversy in the doctrine. It was criticized that the Court avoided assessing the creative or artistic nature of the work, because these are not elements determining the legal nature of the contract covered by the insurance. In this text, the author analyzes the views of the doctrine expressed in response to the judgments of the Supreme Court. He presents the opinion that the assessment of the legal qualification of a contract the subject of which is artistic activity is the domain of civil law. Neither copyright law nor social security law justify an autonomous interpretation of this agreement.
