رخص المشاع الإبداعي و تأثيرها على حقوق الملكية الفكرية : دراسة تحليلية

الملخص EN

The present paper- in addition to its theoretical part which introduces concepts of creative commons licenses- deals with correlation between copy right and creative commons licenses and their consistency in terms of author’s right and availability to society.

This right ranges from restriction to release in connection with fair use and public property.

The paper also tackles types and classes of creative commons licenses, methods of availability and access to publications subject to such licenses, and review of international and Arab positions towards their use and the most important platforms which make their publications available according to these licenses.

The paper showed the following results: positive impact of creative commons on copy right through its reservation and consistency to web environment; creative commons licenses do not replace copy right; rather they are an extension to it and are based on it; author’s moral copyright does not get any harm when publishing his works in accordance to creative commons licenses.

The paper recommended to urge Egyptian and Arab universities to publish their staff members’ and teaching assistants’ workbooks, dissertations and journal articles via creative commons licenses, pay much attention to include such licenses in Egyptian and Arab legislations, and adopt them by national libraries and Ministries of Communication issuing bulletins of their publications under them annually.
