Folk art

Folk art is protected work in Macedonia since 2002.[1] Nothing changed with the new act in 2010, although I have to find it online yet. --Eleassar ^(t/p) 12:36, 18 November 2012 (UTC)

Without reading the link you provided, is this change retroactive (meaning works produced before 2002 are also affected)? -- Rillke^(q?) 14:30, 18 November 2012 (UTC)

To correct myself, after a more precise look it actually seems that this only refers to collections: "A collection of copyright works, works of folk literature and folk art, other works or other materials such as encyclopaedia, anthology, miscellany, database, collection of documents and other collections which, according to the selection, purpose or arrangement of their contents, constitute individual and intellectual creations, shall be an independent copyright work." Per Art. 42: "Works of folk literature and folk art shall be used freely... On the use of this Article, paragraph 1, the source and origin of the work must be stated. Distortion and indecent use of the work is not permissible."--Eleassar ^(t/p) 14:34, 18 November 2012 (UTC)

Also note Art. 6: "The modification of a copyright work, other work or a work of folk literature and folk art that is an individual and intellectual creation shall be considered an independent copyright work." --Eleassar ^(t/p) 14:50, 18 November 2012 (UTC)
