      The literary or artistic tendency of the work
is also irrelevant for the publishing right, be it
scholarly, entertaining, edificatory etc., and
whatever the particular aims it may pursue, for
literary circulation and authorship comprise all
these designations.*

not permitted to bring into circulation, that is,
immoral and forbidden works, cannot be an object
of publishing right; they cannot lay claim to
commercial exploitation nor to protection in
their reproduction and distribution.**
