Abstract

This chapter discusses the development of copyright protection in Thailand before and after the accession to the Berlin Act of 1908 of the Berne Convention and the Berne Additional Protocol of 1914. This is important, given that Thailand acceded to the Berne Act 1908 in 1931. First, it involves looking at the Thai copyright laws before the accession to the Berlin Act 1908 of the Berne Convention such as: 1) the Royal Announcement of the Vachirayan Library in 1892 and 2) the Ownership of Authors Act 1901 and the Amendment of the Ownership of Authors Act 1914. These laws had not been influenced by any international copyright laws. Second, it considers the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works Act 1931 (hereinafter called PLAWA 1931), which was introduced in order to comply with Thailandâs obligation under the Berlin Act 1908 of the Berne Convention and the Berne Additional Protocol of 1914. This chapter emphasises that at the time of global economic crisis, the Berne Convention played an important role of peacemaker, since it allowed Thailand and other Member countries to cooperate and continue to recognise the protection of copyrights. The role of the copyright as peacemaker can be seen in PLAWA 1931, because many provisions of the Berlin Act 1908 were incorporated into it.
