Copyright and Related Rights Bill 1999

Public bill · Government · Presented

The Copyright and Related Rights Bill 1999 would overhaul Ireland’s copyright law, protecting books, music, films, broadcasts, computer programs, databases and other creative works, while generally giving creators control over copying, sharing, renting and adapting them. It would also give performers rights over recordings and broadcasts of their work, recognise their right to be credited and protect them from damaging alterations. Education, libraries, research, disability access, private recording and public administration would receive defined exceptions, while licensing bodies would be registered and disputes over fees could be settled by the Controller. Stronger enforcement would target piracy, unauthorised recordings, devices that bypass digital protection and tampering with ownership information, making the framework more suitable for digital media and aligned with European rules.
