"In his offering, The Right to Research in Africa: Exploring the Copyright and Human Rights Interface, Oriakhogba remarkably studies copyright in the context of Human Rights. From the onset, it is refreshing that Oriakhogba takes the task of engaging copyright outside of the strict positivist and largely mercantilist strictures that often insist on thinking about copyright purely within the ambit of trade."

For policymakers, the landscape of copyright and related rights can sometimes seem like a complicated tangle. However, it is crucial to understand that performers represent a separate category of rightholders with a separate type of right. Understanding they are a separate category of rightholders that require tailormade solutions is one of the first challenges the EU needs to take on if it wants to create a fair digital environment for performers.

Happy (Belated) Public Domain Day, 2025! For an excellent overview of what now "belongs" to everybody (though, in actuality, there are **no property rights** with copyright, a common misconception. It's more a limited exclusive use right, so all that's happening is that the exclusion is expiring), check out the wonderful summary by Duke Law: https://lnkd.in/gpyMKJH8 (Image of Tintin high-fiving Popeye made with DALL-E 3. Since both Tintin and Popeye are now in the public domain and also since the US Copyright Office does not acknowledge copyright over computer-generated media, I guess you could say that this image is TOTALLY in the public domain)
