К вопросу о переработке программы для ЭВМ и базы данных
The right to modification is an important part of legal regulation because it provides the author’s control for use of modified versions of his work. However, there are a lot of dispute issues connected with this right to modification, especially in relation to software and databases which have technical nature. However, the most important of them is whether any modification a computer program or database is always to the appearance of independent rights to such an object. A formal reading of the law can lead to the conclusion that even minimal changes in a program or database mean the follows appearance of independent rights to the program, which creates opportunities for abuse. The article concludes that this position is a mistake and for appearance of rights to a modified program a creative contribution is necessary and even the development of the functionality of the program does not always mean that there is a new protected work.
