| description |
Due to the development of information and communication technologies as well as the influence of the Internet, life and work of the contemporary society take increasingly place in virtual form and the approach towards knowledge and heritage fundamentally altered. The remarkable sign of this continuous process is the emergence of Digital Heritage, understood as the accumulation of computer-based, valuable materials, which constitutes a digital reflection of societal developments. Different “heritage institutions” from the public sector, such as archives, libraries, museums, but also private undertakings became involved in the related process of Digital Heritagization encompassing cultural, scientific and administrative resources. The objective aimed for is the preservation of the named resources in order to enable future generations to access the collective memory of our society by means of electronic records. Since the digitization of analogue resources and the utilization of born-digital content presupposes inter alia the reproduction and duplication of the content in question, the field of intellectual property law gains particular interest. Thereby, the discussion on the national and international level is characterized by the heterogeneous and partly restrictive legal framework. The contribution takes this new environment as opportunity to approach the legal framework of civil law as well as common law jurisdictions related to digital heritage from a copyright law perspective, with particular reference to the legal exemptions and fair dealings doctrine. In order to emphasize the high practical impact of the issue at stake, recent judgments of the ECJ, the Swiss Federal Tribunal and the S.D.N.Y. (Google Books Case) assessing the admissibility of the digitalization and related aspects are considered and critically evaluated. On that basis, the future need of legislative measures in order to balance personal proprietary rights and public interests is discussed. |

En raison du développement des technologies de l’information et de la communication et de l’influence d’Internet, la vie et le travail de notre société contemporaine s’inscrit de plus en plus dans des formes virtuelles et modifie fondamentalement le rapport au savoir et au patrimoine. Le signe le plus notable de ce processus continu est l’émergence du patrimoine numérique, entendu comme l’accumulation sur support informatique de matériel considéré comme signifiant, qui constitue le reflet numérique des développements sociétaux. Différentes institutions patrimoniales du secteur public, comme le monde des archives, bibliothèques, musées mais aussi des initiatives privées s’investissent dans le processus de patrimonialisation numérique qui y est associé et englobe des ressources culturelles, scientifiques et administratives. L’enjeu sous-jacent est la préservation de ces ressources afin de permettre aux générations futures d’accéder à la mémoire collective de nos sociétés par le biais d’enregistrements électroniques. Puisque la numérisation de ressources analogiques et l’utilisation de contenus nativement numériques présuppose, entre autres, leur reproduction et duplication, le droit de propriété intellectuelle est pertinent dans ce contexte. Par ailleurs, les discussions nationales et internationales sont caractérisées par un cadre juridique hétérogène et partiellement restrictif. Cet article considère la patrimonialisation numérique à l’aune du régime du droit d’auteur, en se référant tout particulièrement aux exceptions légales et la doctrine de l’ « usage raisonnable ». Des jugements récents émis par la Cour de justice européenne, le tribunal fédéral suisse et le tribunal du district Sud de New York (le célèbre « Google Books Case »), portant sur l’admissibilité de la numérisation et aspects corrélés, seront examinés. Sur cette base, l’article examine enfin les besoins futurs de mesures législatives visant à équilibrer les droits de propriété personnels et l’intérêt public. |
