'Reproductions of Works of Visual Art in the Public Domain. Effects of the Loss of Protection (Section 68 UrhG) on Usage Restrictions for Works in the Public Domain in Museums and Its Compatibility with Fundamental Rights': The study examines the largely overlooked Article 14 of the DSM Directive. This provision excludes related rights for reproductions of works of visual art in the public domain. Central issues of the study include the interpretation of the term 'work of visual art', the implications of Article 14 for other areas of law, and its compatibility with EU fundamental rights. Lastly, the study considers the impact on the museum sector, which is primarily affected by this provision.
