Most
international copyright treaties contain provisions which aim at balancing these interests, for
instance Article 9(1) and (2) of the Berne Convention. Article 9(1) strengthens the exclusive
right of authors by providing that authors of literary and artistic works shall have the exclusive
right of authorizing the reproduction of these works in any manner, while Article 9(2) protects
the public interest by allowing countries to create the exceptions to the reproduction right in
their domestic law.
