Das Urhebervertragsrecht im Lichte der Verhaltensokonomik: INTERGU-Tagung 2009

Copyright contract law mainly serves to protect the creator in particularly "hazardous situations". The reasoning behind the particular need for protection is seldom discussed. Dedicated to this issue, this work considers the extent to which tools of behavioral law and economics can contribute to the analysis and assessment of the need for protection and the instruments of protection. In addition to fundamental questions, individual instruments of protection are examined from the behavioral law and economics perspective and followed by insights from the copyright perspective. The interdisciplinary dialog promises a deeper understanding of copyright contract law.
