INTRODUCTION

Creativity is the highest human attribute and the earliest records of its expression are linked to those of humanity itself. The droit d’auteur, which means the right of the author, is the result of norms approved by the Constituent Assembly in France in 1791 and 1793, as a result of the end of the privileges of the publishers from the French Revolution.
