Abstract

As the copyright legislations have been adopting Exceptions on the Financial Rights of copyright holders and related rights as a cornerstone of the cultural development in order to enable the public to exploit these works, especially when it becomes difficult to get these works in a traditional way, the misunderstanding of the personal copy for the most of the copyright corporation researchers created a gap between the reality of this copy and its justifications on one side, and the different practicing which might be justified by different means on the other side. Basically the legislation should be the mechanism which include all of these aspects of practicing and distinguish between legal and illegal practicing. But the non-existence of legislation understanding has contributed greatly in creating this gap to an extent that has been reflected on the judicial situation. Consequently, this study aims at discussing all the different tracks in order to recast the features of this practicing in the light of its purpose without missing the protected rights of the creative works holders in copyright and related rights
