A Practical Manual on Author's and Related Rights (Version FR)
Download PDFFrench title: Captations du spectacle vivant: manuel pratique des droits d‘auteur et droits voisins This study, commissioned by Prospero - Extended Theatre, is a practical tool for the entire sector in Europe to better understand the new legal issues involved in the broadcasting of live performances on the internet - and above all, to identify the concrete steps to overcome them. Prospero - Extended Theatre was a project co-funded by the European Union's Europe Creative programme.
The broadcasting of live performances on the internet is a phenomenon that is becoming increasingly common in Europe. This trend, accelerated by the successive lockdowns of the last few years, is often the subject of debate and discussion. To make progress in these essential issues, experience, research, and trials are indispensable. Unfortunately, practical experimentation is too often limited for budgetary and legal reasons. Indeed, the author’s rights issues raised by the broadcasting of live performances on the internet are unprecedented and little known in the cultural sector. This manual is a practical tool, intended for the entire sector in Europe, to better understand these new legal issues and above all to identify the concrete steps to overcome them.
This study was commissioned by Prospero - Extended Theatre, a project co-funded by the European Union's Europe Creative program, bringing together ten partners (nine theatres and one media) and structured around the production and distribution of plays - both in theatres and online.
