Abstract
Introduction. The article examines the changing approaches to understanding the category of “citation” in copyright law based on the definition of the Judicial Board on Economic Disputes of the Supreme Court. The definition confirms the possibility of applying the rules of citation not only to literary works, but also to photos.
Methods. The methodological base of the research consists of the following general scientific and special methods of cognition of legal phenomena and processes in the sphere of private law: systemic structural analysis, synthesis of socio-legal phenomena, comparative legal method, formal logical method.
Results. The results of the studies revealed the relationship of the Definition of the Supreme court dated 05.12.2003 No. 78-Г03-77, and Definition of Judicial Board on Economic Disputes of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation of April 25, 2017 N 305-ЭС16-18302 to confirm the possibility of applying the concept of “quoting” not only literary works but also to other works. It is concluded that, despite the fact that the Supreme Court in its order of 2003 points to the existence of this possibility, the judicial practice in this sphere was not uniform. In addition, the author analyzes the criteria of the legality of the citation in the context of the new judicial practice. The article also concludes that the decision of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation confirmed the possibility of applying rules on the citation not only to photographic, but to any copyright works.
Conclusion. As a result the article concludes that the legitimate and valid size of quotations can not be fixed in a legal norm or universally formulated by judicial practice. In each case it must be up to the court to assess it when considering the dispute in question.
