| Abstract | To a large extent, intellectual property law is the same around the world. In the museum context this so because the legal framework centres around copyright and contract laws which, due to treaties and conventions, are very similar across international borders. This paper looks at (a) common copyright problems that arise in relation to hypermedia; (b) how to avoid the common problems that arise; (c) what Copyright and other Intellectual Property rights are held by museums; (d) how intellectual property rights can be protected; and (e) how intellectual property rights can be exploited. |
