MORAL
RIGHTS

"Moral rights in the UK apply to you if you were alive on or after 1 August 1989, irrespective of when the artwork was created. Except for the Right to Object to False Attribution, moral rights last for the duration of copyright, which in the UK is your lifetime plus 70 years."

https://www.dacs.org.uk/knowledge-base/factsheets/moral-rights

There are four moral rights under UK law:

The Right of Attribution

The Right to Object to Derogatory Treatment - affecting the artist’s reputation

The Right to Object to False Attribution

The Right of Privacy in Certain Films and Photographs

+ Couple (one of which is non-binary) who owns adult toy brand and online store attempts to trademark term envy while also asking owners of another adult toy store to hadn't over socials, website and passwords related to the term enby (despite trademark application being rejected)
+ Owners of ShopEnby are 3 black queer trans individuals
+ Lawsuit has extended beyond 100 weeks
+ How are community developed and owned terms viewed in regard to IP, trademarking and copyright

Like copyright, moral rights can be passed down to a beneficiary in your Will, helping to protect your legacy after you die. If you don’t include your moral rights in your Will, they will pass by default to the person who inherits your copyright. The Right of False Attribution can also be enforced by your personal representatives.

		Current practices

		- Shaming 

		- Hyper visibility 

		- Social pressure 

		- Increased access

		- Sensory overload

CASE STUDY 2

CASE STUDY 1

+ Gallerist reproducing artists work without consent after solo show at gallery owner's gallery

CASE STUDY 3

"Approaching digital rights through the lens of decoloniality invites us to interrogate how digital space is occupied, the people who are displaced, and the mechanisms of extraction it requires to exist"

- European Digital Rights (EDRi)

" Jamie Love set the tone for the meeting by
looking at the loaded terms used by proponents and critics of stronger
IP rights, contrasting positive language such as “innovation”, “value”
and “wealth creation” with negative descriptions such as “monopoly”,
“privilege” and “exploitation”.
"

- TACD debate on the politics and ideology of intellectual property (2006)

*https://edri.org/our-work/edrigramnumber4-6tacd/*

- exploitation // vulnerability // violate
- class
- access // priviledge
- exclusivity
- confidence
- attribution
- empowerment
- valuable
- experience

"Social contracts can be explicit, such as laws, or implicit, such as raising one’s hand in class to speak. "

CTS w/ Nela

- Museum studies -
How can we use the museum + gallery to understand IP? ; Students visit these spaces regularly, how can we encourage their independent learning of IP, while also supporting their interrogation of the ethics and cultural distinctions within it ?

- British Museum + Design museum -

		Activity 1

		- Taking groups through the museum with checklist of what would determine the IP needs of a particular object(s)

		including loopholes / cultural differences in policy / ethics

		Activity 2

		- Less about policy; unpacking the complexities of ownership in relation to culture and time.

Email an outline, identify needs and confirm if it is possible to integrate IP research into CTS
