Abstract This paper seeks to provide a more nuanced view of the creative industry that goes beyond assertions of its contribution to economic growth, which, it is then further argued, requires stringent copyright protection to ensure development. It argues that a critical first step is to optimize an existing copyright framework by addressing its inherent entrepreneurial challenges to better enable authors to garner economic returns. These challenges are identified before the paper delineates the creative industries in South Africa and related policies. It then turns to the ongoing copyright policy formulation process before setting out current and proposed copyright legislative provisions. The paper contends that essential aspects regarding both the creative and commercial aspects must be tackled first. At the creative stage, authors’ inability to use a large range of source works because of the fear of copyright infringement claims can be addressed by elaborating exceptions and limitations. On the commercial front, entrepreneurial capacity building for authors and curbing unfair author, publisher and intermediary contracts is vital. The use of statutory devices such as the reversionary interest, to recover lost or diminished opportunities to obtain direct financial gain from copyright work, could also be considered. Enhancing the viability of collecting societies and ensuring that royalties are paid to authors would also be a critical intervention.

创意产业与南非知识产权法

摘要本文旨在为创意产业提供更为细致入微的观点,超越对创意产业对经济增长贡献的断言,然后进一步论证,需要严格的版权保护以确保发展。它认为关键的第一步是通过解决其固有的创业挑战来优化现有的版权框架,以更好地使作者获得经济回报。在确定南非的创意产业和相关政策之前,必须确定这些挑战。然后,在制定当前和拟议的版权立法条款之前,请先转向正在进行的版权政策制定过程。本文认为,必须首先解决与创意和商业方面有关的基本方面。在创作阶段,作者由于担心版权侵权索取权而无法使用多种来源的作品,可以通过详细说明例外与限制来解决。在商业方面,作者的企业家能力建设以及遏制不公平的作者,出版商和中介合同至关重要。还可以考虑使用诸如归还利息之类的法定手段来恢复失去或减少的机会,以便从版权作品中获得直接的经济收益。增强收集社会的生存能力并确保向作者支付版税是一项至关重要的干预措施。作者的企业家能力建设以及遏制不公平的作者,出版者和中介合同至关重要。还可以考虑使用诸如归还利息之类的法定手段来恢复失去或减少的机会,以便从版权作品中获得直接的经济收益。增强收集社会的生存能力并确保向作者支付版税是一项至关重要的干预措施。作者的企业家能力建设以及遏制不公平的作者,出版者和中介合同至关重要。还可以考虑使用诸如归还利息之类的法定手段来恢复失去或减少的机会,以便从版权作品中获得直接的经济收益。增强收集社会的生存能力并确保向作者支付版税是一项至关重要的干预措施。
