The right is a matter of perspective for an artist, and this is unjust when technology trains algorithms on their piece of work. When author’s work is used without permission or any compensation undermining their artistic endeavours (COPYRIGHTAGNECY, 2019).
In the case Cooper v Universal Music Australia Pty Ltd [2006] FCAFC 187 where the copyright holder Universal Music Australia Pty Ltd is vulnerable to digital piracy found by defendant Stephen Cooper’s action who operated illegal download of music on online resulting to significant financial losses as work is being pirated unauthorized distribution of copyrighted music. This case underscore how digital piracy could impact on copyright holders as intellectual property is stolen alerting enforcement intellectual property laws to safeguard artist’s right.
Copyright laws are essential to protect intellectual property to encourage innovations and granting creators exclusive economic rights from their creations without this protection the lack of incentives will deter artists from investing time and effort into their creative works, ultimately shifting creativity and hinders cultural perspectives. what would be the consequence
of artists not having copyright protection and their work being vulnerable to digital piracy?
Without copyright protection, artists would not have the exclusive rights to reproduce, distribute, and display their work. This would make it easier for others to copy and distribute their work without permission or compensation. Artists would not be able to profit from their creations, leading to financial losses and discouragement from creating new works. This would ultimately hinder creativity and cultural perspectives as artists may be hesitant to invest time and effort into their work without protection from digital piracy.
