Limitation: Copyright

World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) defines intellectual property as two main branches, industrial property and copyright. Trade in industrial property rights is mainly unfair competition and oppression aimed at protecting inventions, trademarks (trademarks and service marks) and industrial designs. Copyright applies to "creating literature and art in various fields", which can be expressed as "in other words, symbols, music, pictures, three-dimensional objects, or combinations (such as in the case of opera or 1 movies)".

Copyright and preservation strategy

Copyright restrictions can affect the preservation strategy of preserving the obtained digital information by restricting its use. Many countries have legislated to allow the reproduction of materials for preservation purposes. But it usually only covers traditional hard copy materials, not digital information. Examples of digital information preservation strategies may be copyrighted, including immigration and refreshing, each of which involves some form of copying of intellectual property rights. Simulation raises similar questions, such as: simulation strategy, which Rosenberg proposed in the report, to avoid technical quicksand and save proprietary software, hardware specifications and documents.

laws and regulations

Every country has its own legislation, and through the treaties managed by the World Intellectual Property Organization, countries cooperate with each other to protect intellectual property rights. These treaties generally involve establishing a minimum level of copyright protection, although they also provide for the needs of copyright users. Copyright related to major treaties, especially digital information, is the intellectual property treaty of Berne Convention (1886) for the protection of literary and artistic works and the copyright treaty of the World Intellectual Property Organization.

According to the Berne Convention, signatory countries can allow copying in order to preserve the right of copying in accordance with the provisions of Article 9. The Berne clause of this provision, which allows all exceptions to be copied (not just saved exceptions), is Article 9.2:

It should be a problem for national legislation and alliances to allow copying of these projects under certain special circumstances, as long as such copying does not conflict with the normal use of the work and does not unreasonably harm the legitimate rights and interests of the author.
