Copyright Law

Copyright Law is as multi-faceted as the world of media itself. In addition to the classic media forms of press, radio and television broadcasting, new media types have developed through the internet and multimedia fields. The statutory regulation of media rights are governed by laws for example in federal press laws, in radio broadcasting regulations or in telecommunications law.

Personal intellectual property is often protected by copyright law. Every author of works of literature, scientific work and art is entitled to rights that he or she can transfer to or defend against third parties.
