Place à l’Xpérience - IMAGES RIGHTS : The digital revolution is reshuffling the cards
In the field of images, the Internet, and more generally, the digital universe are replaying the role played by the appearance of photography in the 19th century.
These are disruptive technologies, leading to new uses, which question rules that the lawyer thought to be more or less stabilized. It is as if the digital revolution is reshuffling the cards and involving a new understanding of the field of the visual through law. For instance, the unlimited capture of images in the public area with mobile phones («phoneography»), or the free access to images and their instantaneous release on the Internet, necessarily compel the law to react. It is essential to clarify the rules and, where necessary, to set the limits of new social practices dealing with visual issues. One of the objectives of the “D-PIAV” project (“Droit de la photographie, des images et des artefacts visuels”) is to raise public awareness of these matters, through concrete examples of contentious or controversial images.
