Intellectual protection of web pages
The legal intellectual protection of web pages
As we know the Copyright Act protects all original literary, artistic or scientific creations expressed in any manner or medium, tangible or intangible, currently known or invented in the future.
The Web site content is also protected because they are considered as an intellectual creation. Therefore it is necessary to determine in all cases to whom rights under the Web page and is particularly recommended in the same legal notice concerning the authorship and ownership of content appearing on them, since it also is protected.
As in the other cases included in the scope of Intellectual Property Law, the author of a Web page, in addition to the ownership of moral rights (demand recognition of his authorship of the same decide on how to disseminate the contents thereof, etc.), it also has economic and social rights, the protection enjoyed by both the works and their authors, is limited to the entire life of the author and in case of death of the latter, to 70 years.
Intellectual Property Law
Intellectual Property Law concrete economic or exploitation of the authors, the rights of reproduction, distribution, public communication and transformation.
This means that authors have the exclusive on their works or creations, or what is, may dispose of them in the manner they see fit, provided that, says the law itself does not prejudice the rights acquired by third parties on them.
In this sense, the law allows authors of works or creations can transmit their exploitation rights to third parties, which suggests, from the point of view ahead and legal certainty in the transfer of such rights of use is determined duration of the assignment and the territory which should affect it, and anything that did not materialize in these two respects, the law limits the duration of transmission to 5 years and the territory to the country where the assignment was made.
But in terms of copyright protection of works or creations, we question arises, and this is whether there is any action by them to the illegal activities of others.
