عبدالهادي، محمود علي عبدالجواد

2020

Overview

* In the past, intellectual property rights were mostly protected by society i.e. the cultured community in which it was easy for intellectual property thieves to be exposed for dishonesty among their peers. * After the emergence and diffusion of printing and translation through various means, books have become an economic activity for both authors and publishers; as a consequence, plagiarism came into being for the purpose of making profit. * Instances wherein books have been altered for the purpose of damaging the reputation of their authors are not uncommon, leading to a pressing necessity to protect authors' ideas and the works they generate by setting out regulatory directives whose purpose is to protect authors' rights while simultaneously responding to any illegal action. * The emergence of computers gave rise to new and innovative forms of roguery and thievery while communication networks facilitated information and idea misappropriation, crimes that have been previously unknown. * During the 1900's, many countries have resorted to enacting domestic laws and entering into international treaties to protect intellectual property rights the fruit of which was the creation of the World Intellectual property Organization. * Islamic law was ahead of secular laws when it enjoined the protection and preservation of material and non-material properties. * Islamic law has assigned to the ruler the right to exercise his own legal reasoning in taking all measures to protect intellectual property and prevent piracy all of which come under ta'zir (disciplinary action).
