Does the work become public domain or government royalty subject in that case? If the latter, it is worse since the government cannot be sued for copyright misuse, either.
- gpm 7y agoPublic domain or some state that approximates it (this is really not a well explored area of law and I'm not an expert).
- anticensor 7y agoI asked because government royalty subjects are something extremely (and I consider dangerously) commonplace in Europe.
- rocqua 7y agoDo you have any examples of that? I'm European and don't know what you mean.
- anticensor 7y agoWorks of government that are copyrighted by the government are called government royalty subjects.
