Abstract
Given the stakes linked to Internet, is the ownership model the most suited to the reservation of intellectual works? This thesis aims to answer this question by criticizing the proprietary regime governing the rights of the author. If the implementation of an ownership related to the works of the mind initially appeared legitimate, the emergence of Internet causes a deep questioning of this mode of reservation. This is particularly relevant for the exclusivity induced by ownership as creations can be reproduced and disseminated without restraint. This observation is all the more significant when one takes into account the development of fundamental cultural rights for the public benefit. Therefore, these elements show that literary and artistic property does not fully fulfil the social function it should serve. Consequently, this study invites to evaluate the opportunity of a non-proprietary regime in the immaterial creation law.
