Dutch copyright law (called Auteursrecht) grants exclusive rights to the author of a work of literature, science or art. It was originally intended to cover books, but today it applies to many other materials including films, recorded music and visual art.
Auteursrecht includes exclusive publishing rights and allows the author to make and sell copies of their work. It also includes the exclusive right to make products derived from the copyrighted work and to publicly display the work (or to grant permission to do so). This is normally recorded in a license contract between someone who has created a copyrighted work and someone who wishes to use that work. Unlike patents, which grant monopolierecht (”monopoly right”) on inventions, copyrights only apply to specific creative manifestations of one or more ideas. Copyrights, however, can be bought and sold.
Generally, the owner of a copy of a copyrighted product can do with the copy as they please, even without actual ownership of the copyright, provided no copies are made and the product is not modified. Those who acquire modified copies from the copyright holder are also bound by these limitations.
There are some limits on what the owner of a copy can do with it. For example, public displays of the creative work are regarded as a form of copying. However, both Dutch and Belgian law allow for citaatrecht (quotation right). This allows the use of portions of a copyrighted work under a strict set of conditions. Quotation rights are more limited and demarcated than the concept of fair use.

Difference between copyright and ‘auteursrechten’
Aside from those mentioned above, there are a few legal differences between auteursrechten and copyrights. One noticeable difference is that auteursrechten grants more rights to employees over intellectual and other property created at work. Artists and musicians (not just the company with distribution rights) are also granted the right of resale, which means they are entitled to a royalty each time a copy of the work is published or exhibited. This is known as naburige rechten (literally “neighboring rights”).
Auteursrechten, like the French idea of “droits d’auteur”, implies not only legal but also moral rights. An author is theoretically given, in addition to the right of ownership, the right to be recognized for the work rather than being criticized for it. Regardless of whether property rights are allocated to the publisher or to the author, the author retains this moral right.
History
Historically, governments issued monopolierechten to publishers for the sale of printed work. Great Britain was the first to change this in 1710 with the Statute of Anne, which recognized that authors, not publishers, should be the rightful claimant. It also entailed protection for buyers of printed work in that publishers were no longer allowed to control the use of sold works. Furthermore, it limited exclusive rights to 28 years, after which the work or works would be released to the public domain.
The Berne Convention in 1886 first settled the recognition of copyrights between sovereign nations. Under the Berne Convention the right of ownership (eigendomsrecht in Dutch) was automatically granted to every creative work. The author no longer needed to register the work, and was not required to apply for copyright coverage.
The Berne Convention is still in effect today. When a work is finished (defined as being written or recorded on a physical medium), the author automatically receives all exclusive rights for that work as well as derivatives, unless and until the author explicitly renounces those rights or the copyright expires. The expiration time differs from country to country, but according to the Berne Convention the minimum time is the lifetime of the author plus 50 years. In the Netherlands the term is 70 years after the death of the author.
National laws and treaties
Copyright laws differ between countries. However, there are several international treaties concerning copyright, including:
The Berne Convention, 1886
The Universal Copyright Convention, 1952
The WIPO Copyright Treaty, 1996
The WIPO Performances and Phonograms Treaty, 1996
The Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPs) (which manages the rights concerning trade in intellectual property)
There are also many other treaties that settle specific parts of copyright. Examples are the European Directive on Copyright Protection of Software (Europese Richtlijn op de Auteursrechtelijke Bescherming van Software) and the European Directive on Neighboring Rights (Europese Richtlijn op de Naburige Rechten).
Misconceptions
There are many misconceptions about copyright laws in the Netherlands.
Trademarks and patents, not copyrights, govern names and inventions.
Although copyright infringement is often compared to theft, when something is stolen the owner no longer has access to the stolen property.
Anyone who has made a creative work has a copyright. An underexposed, badly composed picture of the Eiffel Tower on a personal homepage is just as covered as a two meter tall print of a perfect photograph of the same tower by a professional photographer.
Copyright is only granted to creative, original works. The creator of the work must have used some creativity or a certain creative decision must have been made. Creativity is a relative term, however, as this is a legal, not aesthetic, standard. Passport photographs are an example of works that are not covered by copyright because they are produced in a standard way. Passport photographs are covered by portretrecht (portrait right).
An author can transfer a copyright to someone else using securitisatie, at which point the author receives the current value of future copyright revenues at the time of public presentation.
Copyright lasts for a finite time, specifically 70 years after the death of the author. When a copyright expires the work become part of the public domain. An author also can prematurely renounce a copyright. Expiration or termination of the copyright does not automatically mean the work can be freely copied and published. For example, portrait rights of the person depicted may still apply to portraits.
The author of a work always retains certain rights, even if the copyright is transferred or renounced: the right of the author to be mentioned in, on or near the work is the best example. These rights are called moral rights. These rights also last until 70 years after the death of the author.
Works of the government and laws and court rulings
In principle all works communicated to the public by or on behalf of the public authorities (government) are not copyright protected in the Netherlands, unless the copyright has been reserved explicitly, either in a general manner by law, decree or ordinance, or in a specific case by a notice on the work itself or at the communication to the public. This is regulated in Article 15b of the Copyright Act of 1912. This implies that programmes of the Netherlands Public Broadcasting service (they are public authorities just like the Silicose Oud-mijnwerkers foundation, see ABRS 30 November 1995, JB 1995/337) are not copyright protected.
In the Netherlands there is no copyright at all on the text of laws and court rulings; these governmental works can be accessed at all times by anyone for any purpose. However, some publishers of legal texts and court rulings do claim copyrights on the form in which they present the texts.

John Reilly died, found hanging from a tree in Wythenshawe Park at 11am on 4 June, though there were no suspicious circumstances.
Awards
Sandilands has been awarded the Active Mark by Sport England, following a rigorous assessment, to show the school is committed to the benefits of physical activity and sport.
The school has also received the Leading Aspect Award to mark its inspiring approach to ICT.
School Council
There is a School Council consisting of eight pupils, one from each class in years 3-6, that meets twice a term. The Council has a budget of around £50 with which to buy extra equipment. Though the meetings are supervised by an adult, that person has no say whatsoever on the spending decisions.
ICT
The school is one of only five in the north-west taking part in the PELRS project (Pedagogies with E-Learning Resources) developed by the Manchester Metropolitan University following critical evaluations of the government’s £1bn investment in ICT.
Attendance initiative
The School has developed a strategy to improve attendance and rewards every pupil who achieves 100% attendance each term with a further reward if a pupil achieves 100% attendance for the whole academic year.

Dr Cathy Gale was a fictional character, played by Honor Blackman, on the 1960s British series The Avengers. She was the first regular female partner of John Steed following the departure of Steed’s original male co-star, Dr David Keel (played by Ian Hendry). She made her first appearance at the start of the series’ second season in 1962.
Initially, Gale was one of several rotating partners who worked with Steed (the others being medical man Dr Martin King and nightclub singer Venus Smith). By the third season, however, she was Steed’s only partner.
Gale was born 5 October 1932. She was an anthropologist who married a farmer in Africa and there learned to hunt, fight and take care of herself. When her husband was killed, Gale returned to London to earn a Ph.D. in anthropology. She was the curator of a museum when she first encountered John Steed and agreed to work alongside him from 1962-1964.
The relationship between Steed and Gale was marked by sexual tension of a type absent from later partners, plus Gale and Steed also had a rocky working relationship, with Gale not always appreciative of Steed’s methods nor his habit of “volunteering” her for missions. Still, the two appear to have become quite close as the episode “The Golden Eggs” has her actually living in Steed’s apartment as she searches for a new home of her own (the reason for her displacement is not revealed). In keeping with The Avengers’ policy of avoiding direct references to romance between the two leads, however, it’s quickly stated that Steed is actually sleeping at a nearby hotel.
Cathy Gale was considered a trail-blazing female character for British television, displaying a level of self-assurance and physical prowess rarely seen in women on television before that time. Her later mode of dress - a leather outfit designed to make it easier for Gale to fight - started a fashion trend, as did her wearing of what were dubbed “kinky boots”. (The term became a catch phrase and Honor Blackman and her co-star Patrick Macnee even recorded a moderately popular single entitled “Kinky Boots”.) The influence of Cathy Gale could be felt in productions on both sides of the Atlantic; characters considered to have been influenced by her in some way include the TV version of Honey West and the Doctor Who character Sara Kingdom, as well as the character that succeeded her in The Avengers, Emma Peel.
Blackman left the series after its third season in order to co-star in the James Bond film Goldfinger. She was replaced by actress Diana Rigg as Emma Peel, who continued Gale’s habit of wearing leather during action sequences until she was given her own unique costuming when series production switched to colour.
Other appearances
Cathy Gale left the series before it reached the popular heights it would under Emma Peel. As such, the character only appears in one contemporary spin-off novel, Douglas Enefer’s The Avengers published in 1963.
The Emma Peel episode “Too Many Christmas Trees” sees Steed receive a Christmas card from Mrs Gale and he wonders what she can be doing in Fort Knox, a cheeky reference to Blackman’s appearance in Goldfinger and implying that Cathy Gale and Pussy Galore could be the same character.
Years later, however, Gale would appear in Too Many Targets, a 1990 novel by John Peel and Dave Rogers, in which she meets Emma Peel and Tara King, Steed’s later partners, and is teamed up with David Keel. The book (which is set in the late 1960s and is not considered “canonical”) introduces a romantic attraction between Gale and Dr. Keel.
