[edit] incorporation

On may works of copyright are vested in an incorporated entity (a commercial company, a public corporation etc) because the servants of the entity or the subcontractors have agreed that any thing they write for the entity belongs to the entity. How does European law decide the length of copyright for such a entity that in theory may not have a "death" (legal termination)? --Philip Baird Shearer 10:17, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Title

This article's title isn't completely satisfactory as it makes the reader assume that one law actually applies for all 27 member states. This is not the case, and the individual member states still have to implement any directive in order for it to become legally binding. "Copyright law in the European Union" or "Copyright harmonization attempts in the European Union" would be more accurate titles. Valentinian ^{T / C} 22:19, 11 August 2007 (UTC)
