其他摘要:The article debates the functions of copyright protection, identifying the incentive to
intellectual creation and the access to knowledge and information as its two major functions. The
text explores the role of the public domain as a fundamental institute for the better understanding
of the balance between private and public interests in copyright in the light of Brazilian
Constitutional Law and the US experience on the extension of the protection term.
