Ochrona praw autorskich profesa zakonnego post mortem auctoris

Members of male and female monastic institutes, by publicly placing a vow of poverty, usually renounce the ownership of all temporal goods. If they are the authors of any work, they are entitled – just like every artist – to the copyright protection. Then, the actual disposers of the authorizations due to proprietary copyrights, when obtaining economic benefits is involved, are their religious congregations. There is no obstacle for the monastic profes to pick out the religious institute as an entity that will execute proprietary copyrights upon their death, protecting particularly the integrity of the content and form of the works created by them.
