Abstract

The concept of "news on current affairs" in Copyright Law is ambiguous because the term "news on current affairs" not only refers to the non-copyrighted "mere facts or happenings ", but also refers to all news works. This term contradiction comes from misuse of "current events" in Berne Convention. The author suggests a revision from “news on current affairs” to “mere fact or happening”.

Key words

copyright law / news on current affairs / mere facts or happenings
