[Enrico Bonadio and Anele Simon] Abstract: ...After giving a historical perspective showing how book publishers have traditionally held the reins of powers in their relationship with authors, the chapter focuses on the tension between publishers’ rights, on the one hand, and the moral rights of authors and rights of users, on the other. It then delves into a short analysis of a related and a sui generis right offered to publishers, namely the right in typographical arrangement of published editions (protected in UK and Australia) and the EU publishers’ right aimed at controlling the use of online press and publications.
