The Role of Copyright in Universal Access to Information; limitation or intactness
Copyright grants authors and artists, exclusive rights to protect authors and artists, on the one hand and to protect community rights on the other hand. The author can, for a temporary period of time, earn from the commercialization of his work and register his name as the creator forever in the history and culture of humanity. National and international legislatives have provided these rights to authors in a way that prevents them from abusing this right and restricting the community rights. One of the examples of community rights is the right of access to information. At first glance, copyright seem to limit this right of society, but with a look at the foundations of intellectual property, in general, and at the foundations of copyright, in particular, as well as careful scrutiny of national and international regulations, concludes that not only does this monopoly guarantee the intactness and originality of information and cultural materials, and is in line with the public interests, but also the limitations and exceptions to it, impede the copyright restrictive role on the right of access to information. In addition, prediction of moral right of the author leads to originality and authenticity of information and enables the community to enjoy original and authentic information with a definite and certain source. In this respect, the provisions of Article 19 of the Bill on the Protection of Literary and Artistic Property and the Articles 2 and 2bis of the Berne Convention at national and international levels are significant.
