Authors, Users and Pirates: Copyright Law and Subjectivity

In current debates over copyright law, the author, the user, and the pirate are almost always invoked.

Les figures de l’auteur, de l’utilisateur et du pirate reviennent sans cesse dans les débats autour de la propriété intellectuelle, et particulièrement du copyright anglo-saxon. Au sein des industries culturelles, certains réclament plus de protection pour les auteurs alors que les universitaires et les militants mettent en avant les droits des utilisateurs et les contenus qu’ils créent. Pendant ce temps les pratiques courantes de piraterie en ligne (téléchargements, streaming) remettent en question l’application stricte des dispositifs légaux de protection des œuvres. James Meese propose une approche nouvelle de la propriété intellectuelle en se focalisant sur l’ensemble des relations qui lient l’auteur, l’utilisateur et le pirate. Il les voit comme des sujets interconnectés, une triade relationnelle. L’analyse de leurs relations lui permet d’étudier comment les fondements intellectuels du droit du copyright sont justifiés en pratique. L’étude compare la situation dans divers pays : Australie, États-Unis, Royaume Uni et Canada.
