Abstract
This thesis aims to build a creative commons culture by exploring L&Es to copyright in a developing country, namely Brazil, and compare it with other jurisdictions seeking to propose future changes in policies among jurisdictions, which are the basis of its contributions. This thesis proposes that the Brazilian law should regulate compulsory licenses applied to copyright as well as new clauses regarding limitations for religious, official celebrations and broadcasts for social institutions. Furthermore, it favours expanding the scope of limitations for educational purposes as well as it suggests policy recommendations to surpass the lack of clarity regarding the concept of parody in international forums. Additionally, the ‘sui generis’ of database lacks protection under Brazilian law and could be enlightened by international treaties in this area. Finally, the questionnaire illustrated the importance of Open Access movement to economic development in Brazil.
