COPYRIGHT IMPLICATIONS OF EPIGRAPHIC SQUEEZES

Robert Glushko's article "Copyright Implications of Epigraphic Squeezes" examines whether epigraphic squeezes, which are crucial for studying inscriptions, should be protected by copyright law. The author argues that epigraphic squeezes should not be subject to copyright, as this would impede their sharing and collaboration among researchers. Copyright law typically requires a work to be "original" to receive protection. Glushko explores how different jurisdictions, particularly the United States and Canada, define originality.
