Report of Lamartine and parliamentary debates from March and April 1841 on literary property legislation
Full title original language:

Abstract:
The French parliamentary debates of March and April 1841, which are certainly among the most important of the nineteenth century, were part of a long process of discussions about reforms to the legislation of 1793 - a process which involved the setting up of special commissions to consider the nature of literary and artistic property, such as that of 1825-26, or the commission headed by Count Philippe de Ségur in 1836. A bill was introduced in 1839 by Salvandy (who was then Minister of Education) and discussed in the Chamber of Peers before finally, in 1841, the reform proposal was submitted to the Chamber of Deputies. The ensuing debates would, in particular, confront Lamartine, the reporter of the draft and a supporter of significantly extending the term of protection to fifty years, with Renouard, a famous specialist in copyright law and one of the fiercest opponents of such a long term. Thus, in a way that echoed the debates of the eighteenth century, but also Talfourd's struggles to secure copyright reform over in England, the nature and principles of the author's right were discussed afresh, pitting once again the advocates of literary property against the champions of the public domain. And, as had earlier been the case too, the clamour of these debates undermined any true, accurate definition of the object of literary and artistic property.
