Plus ca change in the court’s decision on who owns copyright in Bolero:
Maurice Ravel’s heiress, Evelyne Pen de Castel, has been ordered to pay one euro ‘in compensation for her damage resulting from the abuse of the author’s moral rights’, was the learned judges’ decision in Nanterre.
There will, of course, be another appeal.
Copyright in Ravel’s works lapsed in 2008, 70 years after his death, but the heir claim a ‘collaborative copyright’ in the lucrative Bolero.
