| The Revue Internationale du Droit d’Auteur is a quarterly review devoted to copyright law in France and around the world. Since October 1953, when the very first issue of RIDA was published, this review has been a rich source of information dealing specifically with this constantly changing area of law. It thus keeps readers abreast of the conclusion of new international agreements and developments concerning existing ones, the ever-growing number of national legislative amendments, significant legal decisions, the evolution of ideas through numerous feature articles and the various meetings organised around the world, particularly under the umbrella of international governmental or non-governmental organisations. The review focuses primarily on authors’ rights. However, it also contains analyses and information on neighbouring rights, that is to say the related rights of performers, producers of sound and audio-visual recordings and broadcasting organisations, as well as dealing with personal rights and in particular the right of privacy and the right of personal portrayal. RIDA is intended for a very wide readership of jurists primarily and authors’ societies (ADAGP, SACD, SACEM, SCAM, SESAM). It is of interest to academics and researchers, attorneys and other legal practitioners, whether they are working on a regular basis in this area or are confronted with copyright issues only exceptionally. Everyone will find in it thought-provoking analyses as well as the information that it is important to know. Each issue, totalling about 350 pages (and published in January, April, July and October of each year), is in fact a book in its own right devoted to copyright law, with contributions from the world’s leading specialists in authors’ rights. It contains the following sections: Feature articles are devoted to the main issues raised by copyright world-wide.
One of RIDA’s correspondents presents and comments on legislative and case law developments in his or her country or region.
A review of case law, discussing recent legal decisions in France and abroad, precedes the full texts of ten or so decisions, some of which are sometimes commented on by a professor, a lawyer or other specialists.
Notably on accessions to international conventions and international meetings dealing with copyright (UNESCO, OMPI, ALAI, CISAC, etc.).
The books dealing with authors’ rights or neighbouring rights that the editorial office receives are brought to the attention of readers. The articles of DOCTRINE and NEWS FROM ABROAD are published in English, French and Spanish, thus making them accessible to a large number of non-French-speaking readers. Since the July 1994 issue, part of the case law has also been published in these three languages.
