kopiereg

Kopiereg is a Dutch term that translates to English as "copy right". However, it is not directly related to the modern concept of copyright law. Instead, Kopiereg refers to a specific type of permit or license that allows individuals or organizations to make copies of certain materials.

In the Netherlands, Kopiereg was a common term used in the mid-20th century to describe a permit that granted permission to reproduce or distribute certain materials, such as books, music, or films. The permit was typically issued by the copyright holder or a designated authority.

Kopiereg was often required for educational or commercial purposes, and it was typically subject to specific conditions and limitations. For example, a Kopiereg might permit the reproduction of a book for use in a classroom, but not for commercial distribution.

The term Kopiereg fell out of use in the Netherlands as copyright law became more standardized and formalized. Today, the concept of Kopiereg is mostly of historical interest, serving as a reminder of the evolution of intellectual property law in the Netherlands.

It's worth noting that the term Kopiereg is still used in some contexts, particularly in reference to materials that were originally created under the old system. Otherwise, the term is largely obsolete, having been replaced by more formal and standardized language in copyright law.
