The chosen term for a work was 70 years from the death of the author (<i>post mortem auctoris</i>, pma) for <a href="/wiki/Authors%27_rights" title="Authors' rights">authors' rights</a> regardless of when the work was first lawfully published (Art. 1), longer than the 50-year <i>post mortem auctoris</i> term required by the <a href="/wiki/Berne_Convention_for_the_Protection_of_Literary_and_Artistic_Works" class="mw-redirect" title="Berne Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works">Berne Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works</a> (Art. 7.1 Berne Convention). In the case that the author is anonymous or pseudonymous the term for a work is 70 years from the date of first lawful publication. The directive notes that the original goal of the Berne Convention was to protect works for two generations after the death of the author, and that fifty years was no longer sufficient for this purpose (para. 5 of the preamble). It is often stated that 70 years pma was the longest copyright term of any Member State at the time: this is not strictly correct,<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> and is not quoted as the reason for the choice in the directive. Where a Member State protected a work for a longer period at the time the directive came into force, the copyright term is not reduced [Art. 10(1)], but other Member States will not respect the longer period. </p><p>The duration of protection of <a href="/wiki/Related_rights" title="Related rights">related rights</a> (those of performers, <a href="/wiki/Sound_recording_and_reproduction" title="Sound recording and reproduction">phonogram</a> and film producers and broadcasting organisations) was set at fifty years with the following rules for calculating the starting date (Art. 3).

The opera was first published in Italy and Puccini died on 29 November 1924. At the time, Italy applied a copyright period of 56 years pma, so Italian protection had expired at the end of 1980: Germany, however, applied a 70 years pma period to works of German authors and the "rule of the shorter term" (Art. 7.8 Berne Convention) to foreign works. The Court ruled that the application of the rule of the shorter term between Member States was a breach of the principle of non-discrimination enshrined in Article 12 of the <a href="/wiki/Treaty_instituting_the_European_Community" class="mw-redirect" title="Treaty instituting the European Community">Treaty instituting the European Community</a>: hence the work should have been protected in Germany even if it was no longer protected in Italy.<sup id="cite_ref-7" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Such cases should no longer arise with the implementation of the directive. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Films_and_photographs">Films and photographs</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Copyright_Duration_Directive&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Films and photographs"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The directive also harmonises the copyright treatment of films ("cinematographic and other audiovisual works") and photographs throughout the <a href="/wiki/European_Union" title="European Union">European Union</a>. Films are protected for 70 years from the death of the last of the following people to die [Art. 2(2)]: the principal director, the author of the screenplay, the author of the dialogue and the composer of music specifically created for use in the cinematographic or audiovisual work. This applies regardless of the provisions of national law regarding the authorship of the film, ensuring a common duration of copyright between Member States. The principal director of the film is always considered as an author of the film, although national legislations may provide for other co-authors [Art. 2(1)]. </p><p>Before the directive, different Member States had applied widely different criteria of originality and creativity to the copyright protection of photographs. These were harmonised by article 6, which states that the only permissible criterion for full protection (70 years pma) is that the photograph is "original in the sense that [it is] the author's own intellectual creation".
