  • Programme - List of Abstracts
    Programme - List of abstracts Saturday, November 30th, Faculty of Law, Veveri 70, Brno 9:30 - 11:00 Parallel streams Law: Intellectual Property On-Line (Licensing) - Room 025 chaired by Andreas Wiebe, Matěj Myška Pedro Dias Venâncio Smart Contracts and Free Use of Copyright Works The enthusiastic preachers of the Blockchain have proclaimed among the miraculous deeds of this blessed technology the possibility of entering into “smart contracts”, self-executing, and thus immune to non-compliance. Blockchain “is a growing list of records, called blocks, that are linked using cryptography. Each block contains a cryptographic hash of the previous block, a timestamp, and transaction data. By design, a blockchain is resistant to modification of the data” (Wikipedia). For those who advocate its use, these characteristics make it the ideal technology for the development of so-called smart contracts. “A smart contract is a computer protocol intended to digitally facilitate, verify, or enforce the negotiation or performance of a contract. (…) Proponents of smart contracts claim that many kinds of contractual clauses may be made partially or fully self-executing, self-enforcing, or both.” (Wikipedia) Some authors have been advocating these smart contracts as a more effective alternative to technological measures of copyright protection. The technology would allow to bind users and holders copyrights on digital works, with electronic contracts that limit the use of the protected works to the agreed terms. What I propose to discuss in my presentation is the extent to which these smart contracts are not limited (or in violation) of mandatory statutory rules that grant users / consumers of cultural works certain free and inalienable rights of use.
