Implementing the Database Directive external link
Code as code, or the end of intellectual property as we know it external link
Abstract
In this article two potential substitutes for the copyright regime will be described: contract law and information technology. The combination of both instruments poses a direct threat to the copyright system, as we know it. Contract and ‘code’ combined have the capability of making copyright and its set of statutory limitations largely redundant, and may require an entire new body of information law to safeguard the public domain.

The Great Copyright Robbery. Rights allocation in a digital environment external link
Abstract
In the shadows of the ‘copyright grab’ that is currently taking place at the European and international political level, a massive confiscation of authors' rights, possibly much more destructive to society, is taking place. Media concentration, media convergence and the lure of multimedia product development have inspired media companies all over the world to redraft their standard publishing or production contracts in such a way as to effectively strip the authors of their pecuniary rights entirely. Authors have a simple choice: sign away their rights or starve. This paper examines the allocation of rights between independent authors and producers from a mainly historical perspective, and proposes several author-protective strategies, including legislative measures.
