EU Contractual Protection of Creators: Blind Spots and Shortcomings

Abstract

We have no idea what we're signing, in an act of legendary mental deficiency."-Morrissey 1 * Professor, SciencesPo Law School 1. MORRISSEY, AUTOBIOGRAPHY (2013). 2. With the exception of works made for hire in the U.S. and in some E.U. States. 3. See CJEU, Case C-277/10, Martin Luksan v. Petrus van der Let, 2012 E.C.R. II-1. 4. Moral rights are deemed unwaivable in many European continental countries. 5. The digital environment might have given more room for authors to produce, publish and market their works themselves, but the role of producers and publishers as first exploiters of works remains significant in many cultural sectors. 6. See Statute of Anne, 1710, 8 Ann., c. 19, Art. II (Eng.) ("That the author of any book or books already composed, and not printed and published, or that shall hereafter be composed, and his assignee or assigns, shall have the sole liberty of printing and reprinting such book and books for the term of fourteen years, to commence from the day of the first publishing the same, and no longer") (emphasis added).
