What is the relevant copyright legislation?
Answer
Since John Cabot University is an American University in Rome, it falls under the Italian Copyright Law: Law for the Protection of Copyright and Neighboring Rights (Law No. 633 of April 22, 1941), and its later amendments, including the recent Legislative Decree No. 177 of November 8, 2021, on the Reception of the Directive (EU) 2019/790 of 17 April 2019 on Copyright and Related rights in the Digital Single Market.
An unofficial English translation has also been made available by the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO).
