The following query was put to readers of the CNI-Copyright listserv. If any museum-l readers can respond to it, will they kindly post their answers to the museum-l list and to the original author: Michael Landau. >----- Forwarded message (Michael Landau <[log in to unmask]>) -----< 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.
