Yeni iletişim teknolojileri ve Türkiye'de müzik endüstrisi'nde telif hakları politikaları
Özet
As better and faster digital and network technlogies can transmit all the words, images, music, and numbers ??content?-almost anywhere on the earth instantaneously, many right-holders find it a severe threat to the market mechanism and copyright business. Mass-scale illegal production and distribution which is called ?piracy? in the popular discourse are responded with new regulations. The WIPO Copyright Treaty and the WIPO Performances and Phonograms are the first intellectual property rights to adress the digital network environment in a global level,.and they require national legislatures to prohibit the circumvention of technical protection and digital rights management measures. The European Union and USA have also adopted the harmonization of these international obligations by means of Copyright Directive and Digital Millenium Copyright Act respectively. These new treaties distorted the balance among the moral rights of creators, the interest of public and the interest of the content industry in favour of the industry.In Turkey, as the legal changes carried out parallel the transformation on the global level, the findings regarding the local actors shed light on those aspects that are unique to the country. While a cooperation can be observed between domestic and foreign copyright industries outside the national borders on a basic level, it would be more proper for the governmental body vested with the power to enforce copyright regulations and implementations to have involved all the groups, in particular those representing consumers to meetings in order to get their opinions during its law drafting process.
