Violazione dei diritti fondamentali ed esigenze di documentazione: un’eccezione al copyright?

  • Francesco Castronovo

The conflict between copyright laws and the need to document and disseminate human rights violations and crimes against humanity becomes central, as access to crucial materials for historical memory risks being restricted by intellectual property protection. Institutions holding these documents often face the challenge of balancing respect for authors’ rights with the need to ensure the dissemination of testimonies vital for education and the prevention of future atrocities. The collective memory of such events is built through materials like photographs, footage, and letters, often created by the victims themselves.
