The Universal Copyright Convention (1988)

The Universal Copyright Convention (1988) by Coalition for Networked Information is an important legal resource that explains international copyright rules agreed upon by different countries. This book describes the duties countries have to protect books, science papers, and art, pushing them to work together to respect authors' rights. Created in the late 1900s, in conjunction with the increasing need for global procedures handling copyright, this book explains the rules of the Universal Copyright Convention, like what rights authors have, how long copyright lasts, and how published and unpublished work should be treated in different countries. Further, it clarifies important vocabulary, outlines both author and country rights, and states how to manage works of people without a country and global groups, making it a necessary guide to the worldwide plan for copyright law designed to support cultural exchange and protect creators' rights across countries.
