Human rights are the paramount rights of the human race. Yet they are highly dynamic, much like the times we live in. With the change in human society, the regulations must change to suit the needs as well. This article analyses how Human Rights and Intellectual Property Rights, specifically copyrights are integral to each other when read together. The primary issue is the collision between copyright and the human right of free speech. The article discusses in detail how copyrights form a human right and the need for them to be recognized as the same. The nuance of free speech and copyrights in the internet domain and the need to account for the publisher‟s independence and IPR rights has been discussed. The article attempts to understand the reasons for copyright violations while exercising the human right of free speech and the possible legal solutions to this problem. The purpose of the article is to dig out all the research in this respect and to make the concept clear for future researchers. This bibliometric analysis is implemented using the Scopus and Web of Science repositories.

Abstract


Human rights are the paramount rights of the human race. Yet they are highly dynamic, much like the times we live in. With the change in human society, the regulations must change to suit the needs as well. This article analyses how Human Rights and Intellectual Property Rights, specifically copyrights are integral to each other when read together. The primary issue is the collision between copyright and the human right of free speech. The article discusses in detail how copyrights form a human right and the need for them to be recognized as the same. The nuance of free speech and copyrights in the internet domain and the need to account for the publisher‟s independence and IPR rights has been discussed. The article attempts to understand the reasons for copyright violations while exercising the human right of free speech and the possible legal solutions to this problem. The purpose of the article is to dig out all the research in this respect and to make the concept clear for future researchers. This bibliometric analysis is implemented using the Scopus and Web of Science repositories.
