Abstract\u200a: The purpose of the following study is that of providing a critical anal\u2011
\nysis of Intellectual Property (IP), with a closer look on copyright, in the context
\nof human rights. My main conjecture is the following\u200a: the legal infrastructure
\nstemming from the implications of copyrights which states created has nega\u2011
\ntive consequences if we have a closer look at some human rights specified by
\nThe Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR). For example, copyrights
\nare, in my view, incompatible with the human rights which specify that (1) hu\u2011
\nman beings have a right to freely take part in the cultural and scientific life of
\nthe communities which they inhabit and (2) human beings have a right to own
\nproperty. My main hypothesis is the following\u200a: if copyrights are, in fact, more
\ndifficult to ground from a moral perspective, then this considerations must
\ntrump the provision of the 27th article of the UDHR, which states that creators,
\nbe they artists or researchers, have a human right to have their moral and mate\u2011
\nrial interests protected with regard to their intellectual products, if this amounts
\nto a justification for a copyright.<\/p>\n

Keywords\u200a: intellectual property, globalization, human rights, copyright, patents.<\/p>\n
