Copyright protection for music: Russian-German ties in the second half of the XIXth- early XX centuries

Summary/Abstract: This article analyzes the process of interaction between Germany and Russia in the context of legal mechanism creation for mutual copyright protection. Features of the creativity protection regime of both states are studied through the musical and dramatic works. The process of interaction between states in making international agreements on copyright protection is reconstructed, and its features are determined. We have used complementary research methods, including historical legal method and system analysis.Based on archive documents and other sources, we have determined the various ways of interaction between Russian and German participants in the music copyright market (authors, publishers, government-owned theaters, private enterprises, gramophone companies, collective copyright management organizations), as well as the measures they used for copyright protection.
