Study Notes
Copyright in the Philippines
- Copyright, according to the Intellectual Property Office (IPO) of the Philippines, is legal protection for original work. This includes literary, scientific, and artistic creations, regardless of their expression, content, quality, or purpose.
- The original work's owner has exclusive rights to use, sell, publish, or reproduce it.
- Copyright law, specifically the Intellectual Property Code (Republic Act No. 8293), covers two categories of works:
- Literary and Artistic Works: These include books, articles, periodicals, lectures, letters, musical compositions, drawings, sculptures, photographs, audiovisual works, computer programs, and more. These are protected from the moment they are created.
- Derivative Works: These are adaptations, translations, or other alterations of existing literary or artistic works, or collections of these works with original selection, coordination, or arrangement.
Copyright Rights
- Economic Rights: Guarantee payment for the use of the work.
- Moral Rights: Protect the author's personal connection to their work (e.g., the right to attribution, alterations, and objection to distortions or modifications).
- Exclusive Rights: Authors have the exclusive right to reproduce, dramatize, translate, adapt, distribute, rent, display, perform, and communicate their work to the public.
Fair Use Exceptions
- Copyright law acknowledges specific situations where usage doesn't constitute infringement:
- Recitation/performance of publicly accessible work done privately.
- Quotations from published works compatible with fair use.
- Articles on current topics (e.g., political, social, scientific).
- Reporting of current events (photography, cinematography, broadcasting).
- Inclusion of works for teaching purposes.
- Recordings in educational institutions.
- Broadcasting organization's ephemeral recordings.
- Governmental, library, educational, or scientific institutional use in the public interest.
- Public performance or communication in places with no admission fees for charitable/educational purposes.
- Public display of a work not displayed via screen/projected image.
- Legal proceedings or professional advice (by legal practitioners).
