The government of Egypt is going to forbid creation of pyramids’ copies
31 December 2007The Egyptian members of parliament are going to pass the law which will forbid creation of copies of pyramids and sphinxes without the permission of Egyptian authorities.
To receive the permission, wishing to create a copy will have to make a corresponding payment. Money will go to maintain historical monuments.
The question is about some kind of intellectual property rights, thus it is supposed that the law will have force outside Egypt as well.
The law will touch full-scale copies of any works of art or household goods stored in the Egyptian museums. Commercial use of copies of the Egyptian pyramids and sphinxes will also be handled by the new law.
As it is supposed, the law will not forbid reproduction of the Egyptian antiquities only if the question is about the author’s work, instead of about an exact copy. So, problems do not threaten to Luxor hotel in the American Las Vegas as the building is a little bit deformed copy of an ancient pyramid.
The new law can seriously strike thematic parks in the different countries of the world, as copies of pyramids and a sphinx attract public.
