Bently & M. Kretschmer, www.copyrighthistory.org Record Images Record-ID: f_1866a Full title Act on the Rights of heirs and of lawful representatives of Authors Full title original language Loi sur les Droits des héritiers et des ayants cause des Auteurs Abstract Following the failure of the very ambitious copyright bills of the 1840s, the 1866 Act finally succeeded in extending - as had been demanded in many of the debates initiated by the Commission of 1825-26 - the duration of the exploitation right to 50 years. The formulation of the 1866 Act, as Riché, the 'rapporteur' of its draft, put it, was meant to once again "wisely reconcile private interests and the public interest with regard to the special rights granted to authors and their families". This extension of the copyright term, which Renouard had already opposed back in 1841, was again imposed to the detriment of resolving other questions concerning the object of literary property and the conditions for protecting a literary or artistic work. In these respects the 1793 Act would still continue to be applied in the case law of the time.
