Worth noting in this issue is the article on the British Museum's difficulty to lawfully return the works of arts looted by the Nazis to the heirs of the original owner; in fact, the current British legislation does not comply with Council of Europe Resolution 1205 of 1999 which invited member states to amend their laws to facilitate the return of looted Jewish cultural property.

Also interesting is the article on copyright protection of modern editions of out-of-copyright music; it reports on a court case in the UK against the label Hyperion, in which a musicological scholar obtained copyright for his performing edition of the musical works of French baroque composer Lalande.
