Creative commons: os limites da lei na regulação de direitos autorais

Abstract

This study aims to examine the adequacy of the copyright licensing system developed by Creative Commons Foundation to Brazilian copyright laws. Also, the study intends to understand what possible legal contours of an increasingly collaborative culture in the production of content and licensing. Finally, it tries to determine what are the consequences and possible adaptation needs of the Brazilian legislation towards a new dynamic of legal relations. By exposing the contents of the Creative Commons licenses, it will analyze the legal content of the same, as well as statistical data on the distribution of licenses, who uses them, how they are used and also what the trends identified from the data. Based on the theoretical framework of "Law as Integrity" from the work of Ronald Dworkin, this dissertation brings the research results, which consist of a comparison of the usual behavior of users of copyrighted works, licensed under Creative Commons, in relation to the legislative proposal of the Brazilian legal system, and what are the possible legal consequences and legislative updating needs regarding the new dynamics of production and marketing of content in a virtual environment.
