On the Nature of the Right of Authorship
considered from a general point of view
By M. André Morillot
deputy procurator at the Court of Appeal, Douai
We wish to determine the nature of the right held by the author
over his work, whether the author be a writer or a musician, a painter
or a sculptor, a draughtsman, an industrial model-maker, or an inventor.
No question has been more controversial, and none remains so in doubt
today as this. I would add that there is none more important in
practical terms, since there is, for example, a huge gap between the
recognition of an authorial right of property, obviously primordial and
superior to any positive legislation, and the granting to the author of
a temporary monopoly or restriction of use. It is between these two
extreme terms that debate has raged, in Germany as in France.
