Scientific Autonomy of Copyright

Abstract

Thanks to the evolution that has characterized it in this century, Copyright has consolidated its scientific autonomy, based on the existence of specific subject, principles, concepts and rules. It is now a branch of Private Law. The recognition of this phenomenon by the Faculty of Law of São Paulo and the creation of an independent field of studies will contribute, in an effective way, to the development of specific techniques of control, which will allow the protection of author 's interests and the balance betweem users and the whole community 's interests.
