Abstract

The chapter analyses the intersection between pornography and copyright. After commenting on US, UK and French cases on the copyrightability of obscene works (especially, porn movies), the authors highlight the arguments both in support and against copyright protection of this controversial subject matter. They conclude that the overriding need to protect free speech makes the arguments supporting the copyrightability of pornography stronger.
