In den vergangenen Jahren hat die grenzüberschreitende Nutzung urheberrechtlich geschützter Werke stark zugenommen. Dabei ist neben der Frage der internationalen Zuständigkeit der Gerichte auch das internationalprivatrechtliche Problem des materiell anwendbaren Rechts in den Mittelpunkt der Aufmerksamkeit gerückt. Besonders kontrovers diskutiert wird dieses hinsichtlich der Bestimmung der originären Inhaberschaft am Urheberrecht. Das Werk beschäftigt sich mit der kollisionsrechtlichen Behandlung dieses Aspektes bei Sachverhalten mit grenzüberschreitenden Bezügen. Nach einer wissenschaftlichen Hinterfragung der im internationalen Urheberrecht diskutierten Grundprinzipien der Anknüpfung an die lex loci protectionis einerseits und die lex originis andererseits und einer Darstellung der Rechtslage in Deutschland, Frankreich und den USA wird eine Kollisionsregel entwickelt, welche trotz der unterschiedlichen nationalen Ansätze einen einheitlichen, internationalen Ansatz bilden könnte. Dabei spielen auch die Vorgaben der internationalen Abkommen und des Europäischen Rechts eine Rolle.

"British judges increasingly now pay attention to foreign case law when deciding domestic cases, and are required to interpret and apply international law in domestic courts and administer an international code of human rights. Tom Bingham examines the consequences of this increasingly internationalist outlook of British courts, including cases which rely on a range of foreign cases, cases where an international convention or principle is interpreted and cases in which human rights cases are decided in reliance on principles established elsewhere"--

International law is constantly navigating the tension between preserving the status quo and adapting to new exigencies. But when and how do such adaptation processes give way to a more profound transformation, if not a crisis of international law? To address the question of how attacks on the international legal order are changing the value orientation of international law, this book brings together scholars of international law and international relations. By combining theoretical and methodological analyses with individual case studies, this book offers readers conceptualizations and tools to systematically examine value change and explore the drivers and mechanisms of these processes. These case studies scrutinize value change in the foundational norms of the post-1945 order and in norms representing the rise of the international legal order post-1990. They cover diverse issues: the prohibition of torture, the protection of women's rights, the prohibition of the use of force, the nonproliferation of nuclear weapons, sustainability norms, and accountability for core international crimes. The challenges to each norm, the reactions by norm defenders, and the fate of each norm are also studied. Combined, the analyses show that while a few norms have remained surprisingly robust, several are changing, either in substance or in legal or social validity. The book concludes by integrating the conceptual and empirical insights from this interdisciplinary exchange to assess and explain the ambiguous nature of value change in international law beyond the extremes of mere progress or decline.
