Rafael Ortin, "Art and Copyright in Venezuela"

This presentation will make a diagnosis of intellectual property in Venezuela, with special emphasis on copyright in the visual arts. It will address the general limits to the right to use and reuse others’ works, such as the right to quote, use of preexisting works, branding and image in the works. It will analyze the business model, the collective management of the (secondary uses) and "droit de suite," and explore the challenges of copyright and protection of an authors’ work that are faced under a context of new technologies of information and production.
