Survey on the Impact of Copyright Law on Artistic Practice
5. 3. 2025 copyright
We have prepared a survey aimed at mapping the impact of the copyright system on artists, their creative work, and their professional lives. Are you an author or a performing artist? Help us improve the situation of artists and please complete this short questionnaire.
We are currently conducting a survey to gather the views of authors and performing artists on how current copyright regulation affects their creative work. We are addressing you as a member of the target group and kindly ask you to complete a short questionnaire that will take no more than 10 minutes of your time. The results will be used, in cooperation with representatives of the Ministry of Culture, to prepare policy measures aimed at eliminating identified negative impacts of copyright law, as well as serving as an informational basis for awareness-raising activities designed to improve creators’ knowledge of how to use their rights.
The survey is completely anonymous, and all responses will be processed collectively through statistical analysis. We appreciate your honest opinion. Please complete the questionnaire in one sitting—if you open it, it is necessary to finish it; otherwise, partially completed responses will be lost and you will need to start again. Data collection is carried out by the research agency STEM/MARK. You can complete the survey here.
