Comparaţie între dreptul de autor şi dreptul de proprietate în dreptul comun
Comparison between copywright and ownership in common law

Summary/Abstract: This study is meant as a comparison between copywright and ownership of the common law, starting from the fact that the present legislation, namely Law nr. 8/1996 on copyright and related rights, approaches the copyright analitically, by talking about moral and economic rights that are due to the author of a literary, artistic or scientific work, but it does not claryfy the legal category that they fall into. This comparison is important in terms of shaping the legal nature of copyright given that this issue has been and continues to be the subject of controversy and given the fact that it approaches the real rights as exclusive rights of exploitation through the specific way of recovering the copyright by the author or his heirs (successors). Copyright holders have their attributes as jus possidenti, jus utendi, jus abutendi and jus fruendi and, from this perspective, they can be classified as real rights covering intangible assets, similarly to the property rights. Intellectual creation is considered the most personal, most legitimate, most sacred and most unassailable of all properties. The monopoly unpon the exploitation of copyright offers a striking analogy with the ownership in property rights. This is the most complete mastery that involves spiritual works and a modern form of appropriation of property. Copyright holder is the only entitled to exploit the intellectual property subject to his right, having the use of the work directly and immediately. Having all these in mind we can state that copyright implies more aspects than ownership itself.
