Sorry to bring up the copyright issue again, but I understand that the GATT (General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade) Implemetation Act may cause some copyright headaches for the museum community. As of Jan 1, 1996 works of art produced outside the United States, which had previously been considered in the public domain have had their copyrights restored. This of course, will probably cause the most problems for museums that hold contemporary European works of art. The copyright owner must notify the museum of their desire to reclaim copyright control, and the museum, at the date of notification must stop producing commercial products, i.e.- postcards, t-shirts, etc. (The museum does have a one year grace period to sell off its existing inventory.) I would be interested to know if any museums have started to receive notification from artists, their estates, etc., and how this issue is being handled. I understand the Implemetation Act itself was rapidly drafted, and has some potential legal loopholes that may have to be settled through litigation. I, (as you might have guessed) am writing a paper on this subject, but am finding very little information on the Act's effect on the museum community. The issue has definitely gotten more attention in entertainment law journals! Thanks in advance! Sharon Spain
