[OpenGLAM] copyright on exact image reproductions

Tue Jun 2 07:03:36 UTC 2015

Hi Javier, others, 

OutofCopyright.eu <http://outofcopyright.eu/> has done some research last year (specifically Thomas Margoni, then IViR) on the rights that occur when heritage is digitised in 7 different EU countries: http://outofcopyright.eu/rights-after-digitisation/ <http://outofcopyright.eu/rights-after-digitisation/>. This might be of some interest. 

With kind regards, 

Lisette Kalshoven

The UK has a particularly difficult approach where copies are given full protection. Some of you may have discussed this issue with UK lawyer Francis Davey via email or in meetings, but the link below has a full paper with his perspective on the topic.
