That is only a small part of Urheberrecht from what I can tell. What you mean is what the law calls "Urheberpers??hnlichkeitsrecht", which is only three short passages in the "Inhalt des Urheberrechts" part of the law, directly followed by a long passage about "Verwertungsrechte". I'm not a lawyer not have any training in that part, but ??106A in http://www.copyright.gov/title17/92chap1.html#106a looks mostly like this. > All that is quite separate from copyright, which covers certain acts > such as copying, distribution etc, and which is a transferable and > licensable property right rather than an inherent right of an author. As I said, I think this is mostly procedual difference not a real difference in practical effects. Hochachtungsvoll, Bernhard R.
