A friend and colleague asked me a question which I could not answer
regarding foreign copyright law the other day:
Is anyone out there familiar with any exemptions under either German
or French law that allow museums owning the tangible artwork to make
reproductions (posters, books, catalogues) without having to pay a
royalty to the copyright holder? Also, is there a narrow exemption
for the catalogue that accompanies an exhibition, but nothing else?
I was not familiar with any such laws. If any of you are, could you
please inform me.
Thanks,
