THE STREAMING UNDER A HERMENEUTICAL VIEW OF COPYRIGHT

Abstract

This article aims to analyze the process known by streaming and its consequences to the contemporary copyright, and its legal nature and position in the copyright field. Streaming is a manifestation of a new commercial exploitation of works of musical and audiovisual nature. With the possibility of multiple accesses to the works brings to contemporary times a repetition of the classic discussion of copyright with regard to the possibility of profit and the simple use of works or interpretations protected by law. Considering the challenges imposed by new technologies, an insurgency of conflicts and conceptual divergences in relation to the transmission and the development history of copyright, it is necessary to investigate, under a hermeneutical view, how this issue has been handled as what are the limits and the hermeneutical possibilities for adapting streaming to the assumptions of current brazilian legislation.
