Drm At The Intersection Of Copyright Law And Technology : A Case Study For Regulation, Severine Dusollier Jan 2012

Drm At The Intersection Of Copyright Law And Technology : A Case Study For Regulation, Severine Dusollier

Severine Dusollier

Digital Rights Management, that have been deployed to enforce copyright, present an interesting case study for regulation. DRM, as a technology, has significant effects on copyright regulation. When applied to limiting access or controlling the use of some works, and reinforced by anti-circumvention provisions, a DRM system acts as a technical norm regulating the very use of a copyrighted work, as copyright regulation does. But the normative effect of DRM technologies is rather different in terms of content and in terms of nature. Mere access to and use of works are now under control, whereas copyright is traditionally limited to …


(Re)Introducing Formalities In Copyright : Towards More Open Content?, Severine Dusollier Jan 2011

(Re)Introducing Formalities In Copyright : Towards More Open Content?, Severine Dusollier

Severine Dusollier

Many voices have been recently heard in favor of the reintroduction of formalities in copyright law, in order to counteract the rapid expansion of copyright protection and the ensuing diminishing of the public domain.

Sharing Access To Intellectual Property Through Private Ordering, Severine Dusollier Jan 2007

Sharing Access To Intellectual Property Through Private Ordering, Severine Dusollier

Severine Dusollier

Property and exclusivity are at the core of the intellectual rights. Traditionnally, copyright or patent rights are seen as tools to exclude others. Oddly enough, copyright and patent holders have started to engage in non-exclusionary practices through open access, open source or open licensing schemes. By using exclusivity not to exclude others but to include them, to share and socialize intellectual property, by giving rights to use, reproduce, modify and distribute works or inventions, those mechanisms reverse the traditional narrative of intellectual property and introduce commons features within the exercise of the right itself. Interestingly, such licensing schemes are based …
