Ngokuthuthuka kobuchwepheshe bedijithali, izinkundla zokusakaza, okuhlanganisa i-YouTube ne-Spotify, ziba izindlela eziyinhloko zokudla umculo nokuqukethwe okulalelwayo nokubonwayo. Leli qiniso libusa izingxabano zomthetho mayelana nemikhawulo yokudluliswa kwe-copyright.
Nakuba kungelona icala elizimele, ingxabano yakamuva yezomthetho phakathi komculi uLeonardo kanye no-Sony Music igqamise ukukhathazeka okufanele mayelana nezinga lamalungelo anikezwe umlobi womsebenzi kanye nokusinda kwalesi sandiso ngokuhamba kwesikhathi, ikakhulukazi lapho kubhekene nezinhlobo ezintsha zokuxhashazwa komsebenzi, njengokusakaza.
Ecaleni elishiwo ngenhla, uLeonardo, njengommangali, wabekela inselele ngokusemthethweni ukufaneleka kwenkontileka eyasayinwa ngo-1998 nabakwaSony Music mayelana nokwenzeka kokusabalalisa ikhathalogi yakhe yomculo ezisekelweni zokusakaza, kucatshangelwa ukuthi isigatshana senkontileka esinquma izinga lokusetshenziswa komsebenzi ngabakwaSony Music asicabangi ngokucacile ukusatshalaliswa ngokusakaza.
Impikiswano imayelana nokutolika okunomkhawulo okunikezwa okwenziwayo kwezomthetho (okuhlanganisa nezinkontileka) ezilawula i-copyright. Lokhu kungenxa yokuthi umuntu akakwazi ukucabangela noma yini okungavunyelwene ngayo ngokucacile nangokucacile, futhi lokhu kungase kuholele ekuqondeni ukuthi izindlela zamanje zokuxhashazwa azizange zinikezwe ezivumelwaneni eziphethwe esikhathini esidlule, ngakho-ke, azizange zigunyazwe umlobi. Nokho, nakuba isibopho sokuthobela imibandela yokufaneleka yokudlulisela (isb., ukuthi inkontileka ibhalwe phansi, ukuthi inquma izinhlobo ezigunyaziwe zokusetshenziswa, njll.) singenakuphikwa, kubalulekile ukuthi ukuhlaziya kucabangele umongo wezobuchwepheshe lapho inkontileka yasayinwa khona (ngo-1998, lapho u-Leonardo esayina inkontileka, i-Spotify - isibonelo - yayisaqalwa iminyaka eyi-10).
Iphuzu elikhulu lokushuba kwesimo, kulokhu nakwamanye afana nalo, ukuba semthethweni kwezinkontileka ezisayinwe ngaphambi kokuba i-inthanethi ibe yindlela ehamba phambili yokusabalalisa okuqukethwe. Uma sikhuluma ngokuqinile, imboni yomculo ibambelela ekutheni ukusakaza bukhoma kumane nje kuyisandiso sezindlela ezivamile zokusebenza noma zokusabalalisa, okwenza kube semthethweni ukusetshenziswa kwakho ngokuvumelana nemibandela yenkontileka ekhona. Ngokuphambene, ababhali baphikisa ngokuthi kuyindlela entsha ngokuphelele, edinga ukugunyazwa okuqondile futhi, kwezinye izimo, ukuxoxisana kabusha kwamaholo enkontileka.
Ingxoxo emayelana nesidingo sokugunyazwa okuqondile kokusetshenziswa kwemisebenzi yomculo ezinkundleni zedijithali isivele ihlaziywe yiNkantolo Ephakeme Yezobulungiswa (STJ) ekwahluleleni Kwesikhalazo Esikhethekile No. 1,559,264/RJ. Ngaleso sikhathi, iNkantolo yabona ukuthi ukusakaza bukhoma kungachazwa njengokusetshenziswa ngaphansi kwe-Article 29 yoMthetho we-Copyright. Nokho, igcizelele ukuthi lolu hlobo lokuxhaphaza ludinga imvume yangaphambili necacile yomnikazi wamalungelo, ngokuhambisana nomgomo wokutolika okunemingcele.
Ngaphezu kokungqubuzana okukodwa phakathi kwezinhlangothi ezithile, izingxoxo ezinjengalezi zembula udaba olubalulekile: isidingo esiphuthumayo sokubuyekeza izinkontileka ezihilela ukudluliswa kwelungelo lobunikazi, kungakhathaliseki umkhakha, kungaba imboni yokuqopha, umkhakha wezemfundo owenziwe ngedijithali kakhulu, izitolo zezindaba—ngamafuphi, bonke labo abasebenzisa futhi baxhaphaze okuqukethwe okune-copyright. Uma kubhekwa ukuvela ngokushesha kobuchwepheshe obusha namafomethi wokusabalalisa—ikakhulukazi endaweni yedijithali—kubalulekile ukuthi lawa mathuluzi enkontileka acacise ngokucacile nangokuphelele izindlela zokusetshenziswa ezigunyaziwe. Lokhu kungenxa yokuthi ukweqiwa, okuzuzisa ngokwentengiso, njengoba kunikeza imvume ebanzi yokusebenzisa okuqukethwe, kungabangela ukungaqiniseki kwezomthetho, izimfuno zesinxephezelo samalungelo okuziphatha nezinto ezibonakalayo, kanye nezingxabano zomthetho ezibizayo nezithatha isikhathi eside.
