French Intellectual Property Code*
Article L111-1 - paragraph 1
The author of a work of the mind enjoys, by the sole fact of its creation, an exclusive intangible property right which is enforceable against all.
Any representation or reproduction in whole or in part** without the consent of the author or his successors in title or assigns shall be unlawful. The same applies to translation, adaptation or transformation, arrangement or reproduction by any art or process whatsoever.
The author enjoys, during his lifetime, the exclusive right to exploit his work in any form whatsoever and to make a pecuniary profit from it.
* The French Intellectual Property Code is the law applicable in France against counterfeiting, piracy and illicit use of the intellectual and artistic property of others.
** With the exceptions provided for in article L122-5 of the French Intellectual Property Code.
Universal Declaration of Human Rights*
Article 27**
1 - Everyone has the right freely to participate in the cultural life of the community, to enjoy the arts and to share in scientific advancement and its benefits.
2 - Everyone has the right to the protection of the moral and material interests resulting from any scientific, literary or artistic production of which he is the author.
* The Universal Declaration of Human Rights has no legal value but has a meaning dear to Bruno Arts, because it is a humanist text carrying throughout the world values such as: democracy, freedom, equality and fraternity; a text on which all the governments of the world should rely. Which is unfortunately not the case.
** This article is reinforced by articles 3 and 17.
Free private performances given exclusively within a family circle are authorised under the terms of theArticle L122-5 paragraph 1 of the French Intellectual Property Code.
