Artists are becoming more aware of the importance of intellectual property rights, as professionalism in the sector increases.
This is the focus of the seventh session of Arts Council Malta’s ACM Hangouts, hosted by Elaine Falzon.
Lawyer Luke Dalli and Steve Vassallo from Malta PRS - a society that collects revenue on behalf of musicians and artists – join other guest speakers from the industry to explain how property rights work, offering valuable information about how artists can protect their rights, and what steps they need to take upon creating new work in order to secure these rights.
Dalli explained property rights and international agreements concerning them. He explained that there are three main areas of law that extend protection to artists and emphasised the importance of ensuring written claims to intellectual property: a friendly handshake is not enough.
