Sacheigentum und Urheberrecht im Konflikt

'Property Rights and Copyright in Conflict. The Complete Destruction of a Copyright-Protected Work as 'Other Impairment' Pursuant to Section 14 of the German Copyright Act (UrhG)': This work examines whether the complete destruction of a copyright-protected work is covered by Section 14 of the German Copyright Act (UrhG). While older case law granted owners broad rights, the Federal Court of Justice ruled in 2019 that complete destruction is qualified as 'other impairment'. This strengthens authors' moral rights but intensifies the tension with property rights. The study proposes criteria for balancing these interests and offers practical approaches to solve conflicts.
