Abstract:
The second wave of bilateral copyright agreements took place in the 1880s. After the enactment of the 1879 Spanish Copyright Act, Spain needed to renew its international copyright relationships. These agreements not only evidence different preoccupations around international relations, they also show that political agency had significantly changed. Unlike the previous wave in the 1850s, negotiations were not exclusively monitored and carried out by diplomats. They now acquired a public and cosmopolitan dimension. More specifically, some of the bilateral negotiations reflected particular interpretative anxieties following the promulgation of the domestic law. For instance, the Franco-Spanish copyright negotiations took place after an inquest made by the French to confirm the copyright protection of a subject matter (photographs) that had been silenced in the Spanish law.
