About this videoFor many years the protection of intellectual property has increased for the benefit of its creator. Georgia Harper lectures on the purposes of copyright and the two main traditions that countries around the world follow: Incentive and natural rights tradition. The incentive tradition offers creators a limited monopoly as an incentive, so they can recover their investment and be inclined to continue to create. The natural tradition recognizes and protects the right of the author as an inherent right and differs with the incentive tradition in three aspects: The extent of the limitations, the protection of moral rights, and the absence of formalities. Harper analyzes both by placing Guatemala as the example of the natural rights tradition and the United States as the example of the incentive tradition. She talks about the differences between these two methods, and various other aspects such as the moral rights in Guatemala, as well as the limitations on the copyright owners’ rights.
