Jaa Vrabec, LL.M., holds a masters degree in intellectual property law and works in the Office of the President of the Supreme Court of the Republic of Slovenia (the views of Jaa Vrabec expressed in this segment do not represent the official opinions of the institution that employs him).A conversation between a legal expert and an art curator about the authorship of a work created by copying another work.How do we handle the copy-and-paste technique?In todays digitalized world, it takes only a fraction of a second and a click on the mouse to copy copyrighted works, so we need to be especially careful when dealing with the question of making use of other peoples copyrighted works or copying them. Here questions arise with regard both to moral rights (above all, the right to have ones authorship acknowledged and the right to have the copyright respected) and to material rights (primarily, the right to reproduce and the right to use the work in a new way). How much freedom does the artist have in making art and how is he limited in this by the rights of other authors? In this context, does copyright function as something that encourages or as something that may even inhibit the development of art and access to knowledge?--------------------------------------------------SLO: Jadranka Ljubii, diplomirana umetnostna zgodovinarka in umetnika vodja galerije Alkatraz. mag. Jaa Vrabec LL.M Master of Intellectual Property Law, zaposlen v Uradu predsednika Vrhovnega sodia RS (stalia avtorja v tem prispevku niso uradna stalia institucije, v kateri je zaposlen).Razgovor med pravnikom in kustosinjo o avtorstvu dela, ki je nastalo s kopiranjem drugega dela. Kako ravnati s tehniko copy-paste?V digitaliziranem svetu je postalo kopiranje avtorskih del stvar delka sekunde in enega klika, zato je treba posebno pozorno obravnavati problem prevzemanja tujih avtorskih del oziroma kopiranja. Pri tem se odpirajo vpraanja tako glede moralnih pravic (predvsem pravica priznanja avtorstva in pravica do spotovanja avtorskega dela) kot glede materialnih pravic (predvsem pravica do reprodukcije in pravica do predelave). Kolikna je svoboda umetnika pri ustvarjanju in kako je pri tem omejen s pravicami drugih avtorjev? Ali deluje avtorsko pravo v tem kontekstu kot spodbujevalec ali morda kot zaviralec razvoja umetnosti in dostopa do znanja?
