On the occasion of the passing of a distinguished singer, during the state tributes organized in her honor, the Ministry of Culture used a photograph taken by the plaintiff. The photographer subsequently claimed damages resulting from this unauthorized use.<\/p>\r\n            \r\n            <p>These damages consist of pecuniary damage\u2014specifically, lost profits resulting from the absence of a contract between the two parties under which publication would have generated revenue\u2014as well as moral damage. The latter is a non-pecuniary right tied to the personality of the author of an artistic work in relation to its users, and in this specific case, relates to the alteration, devaluation, and damage to the image and integrity of the work, along with the impact it conveys to readers and viewers.<\/p>\r\n\r\n            <p>The Tirana District Court rejected the plaintiff's lawsuit, and the Tirana Court of Appeal upheld this decision.<\/p>\r\n\r\n            <div class=\"case-card p-8 rounded-2xl mb-10 shadow-lg\">\r\n                <h3 class=\"serif text-xl font-bold mb-4\">Reasoning of the Civil College (KCGJL)<\/h3>\r\n                <p>The Civil College of the Supreme Court (KCGJL) deemed the lower courts' conclusions erroneous. The lower courts had ruled that the plaintiff lacked standing because, at the time of the alleged infringement, the specific artistic work had not been registered with the Albanian Copyright Office. The KCGJL noted that neither court evaluated the substantive merits of the lawsuit, limiting their assessment strictly to the plaintiff's standing based solely on the lack of certification.<\/p>\r\n                \r\n                <p class=\"mt-4\">Albanian copyright legislation enshrines the principle of automatic protection, under which authors enjoy copyright over their creations by the sole fact of their realization.

In occasione della scomparsa di una nota cantante, durante le cerimonie commemorative organizzate dal Ministero della Cultura, \u00e8 stata utilizzata una fotografia scattata dal ricorrente, il quale ha richiesto il risarcimento del danno subito.<\/p>\r\n            \r\n            <p>Tale danno consiste sia nel danno patrimoniale \u2014 ovvero il lucro cessante derivante dalla mancanza di un contratto tra le parti in virt\u00f9 del quale la pubblicazione avrebbe generato un compenso \u2014 sia nel danno morale.

La KCGJL osserva che nessuno dei tribunali di merito ha analizzato nel merito le pretese della domanda, essendosi limitati a negare la legittimazione attiva del ricorrente esclusivamente a causa della mancanza di certificazione.<\/p>\r\n                \r\n                <p class=\"mt-4\">La legislazione albanese sul diritto d'autore sancisce il principio della tutela automatica, in base al quale gli autori godono del diritto d'autore sulle proprie opere per il solo fatto della loro creazione.

Decision no. 00-2025-2238 (273), dated 21.05.2025 of the Civil College The author of an artistic work enjoys automatic protection of their rights by the sole fact of the creation&#8217;s realization, and they cannot be denied standing (*legitimatio ad causam*) to sue for copyright protection solely based on the absence of registration or certification. The plaintiff practices the profession of photojournalist and reporter. On the occasion of the passing of a distinguished singer, during the state tributes organized in her honor, the Ministry of Culture used a photograph taken by the plaintiff. The photographer subsequently claimed damages resulting from this unauthorized use. These damages consist of pecuniary damage\u2014specifically, lost profits resulting from the absence of a contract between the two parties under which publication would have generated revenue\u2014as well as moral damage. The latter is a non-pecuniary right tied to the personality of the author of an artistic work in relation to its users, and in this specific case, relates to the alteration, devaluation, and damage to the image and integrity of the work, along with the impact it conveys to readers and viewers. The Tirana District Court rejected the plaintiff&#8217;s lawsuit, and the Tirana Court of Appeal upheld this decision. Reasoning of the Civil College (KCGJL) The Civil College of the Supreme Court (KCGJL) deemed the lower courts&#8217; conclusions erroneous. The lower courts had ruled that the plaintiff lacked standing because, at the time of the alleged infringement, the specific artistic work had not been registered with the Albanian Copyright Office. The KCGJL noted that neither court evaluated the substantive merits of the lawsuit, limiting their assessment strictly to the plaintiff&#8217;s standing based solely on the lack of certification. Albanian copyright legislation enshrines the principle of automatic protection, under which authors enjoy copyright over their creations by the sole fact of their realization. Unlike other intellectual property rights, which must be registered to be recognized by third parties and to receive legal protection, the existence and enforcement of copyright do not require any registration or other formal procedures. For these reasons, the KCGJL decided to overturn the decision of the Tirana Court of Appeal and remanded the case for retrial to the Court of Appeal of General Jurisdiction in Tirana, to be heard by a different judicial panel. Sentenza n. 00-2025-2238 (273), del 21.05.2025 del Collegio Civile L&#8217;autore di un&#8217;opera d&#8217;arte gode della protezione automatica dei suoi diritti per il solo fatto della realizzazione della creazione, e non pu\u00f2 essere privato della legittimazione attiva ad agire in giudizio per la tutela del diritto d&#8217;autore sulla sola base della mancanza di registrazione o certificazione. Il ricorrente esercita la professione di fotoreporter e giornalista. In occasione della scomparsa di una nota cantante, durante le cerimonie commemorative organizzate dal Ministero della Cultura, \u00e8 stata utilizzata una fotografia scattata dal ricorrente, il quale ha richiesto il risarcimento del danno subito. Tale danno consiste sia nel danno patrimoniale \u2014 ovvero il lucro cessante derivante dalla mancanza di un contratto tra le parti in virt\u00f9 del quale la pubblicazione avrebbe generato un compenso \u2014 sia nel danno morale. Quest&#8217;ultimo costituisce un diritto non patrimoniale legato alla personalit\u00e0 dell&#8217;autore dell&#8217;opera d&#8217;arte nel rapporto con i suoi fruitori, che nel caso di specie si manifesta con l&#8217;alterazione, la svalutazione e il deterioramento dell&#8217;immagine dell&#8217;opera, nonch\u00e9 con l&#8217;impatto negativo trasmesso a lettori e spettatori.

Decision no. 00-2025-2238 (273), dated 21.05.2025 of the Civil College The author of an artistic work enjoys automatic protection of their rights by the sole fact of the creation&#8217;s realization, and they cannot be denied standing (*legitimatio ad causam*) to sue for copyright protection solely based on the absence of registration or certification. The plaintiff practices the profession of photojournalist and reporter. On the occasion of the passing of a distinguished singer, during the state tributes organized in her honor, the Ministry of Culture used a photograph taken by the plaintiff. The photographer subsequently claimed damages resulting from this unauthorized use. These damages consist of pecuniary damage\u2014specifically, lost profits resulting from the absence of a contract between the two parties under which publication would have generated revenue\u2014as well as moral damage. The latter is a non-pecuniary right tied to the personality of the author of an artistic work in relation to its users, and in this specific case, relates to the alteration, devaluation, and damage to the image and integrity of the work, along with the impact it conveys to readers and viewers. The Tirana District Court rejected the plaintiff&#8217;s lawsuit, and the Tirana Court of Appeal upheld this decision. Reasoning of the Civil College (KCGJL) The Civil College of the Supreme Court (KCGJL) deemed the lower courts&#8217; conclusions erroneous. The lower courts had ruled that the plaintiff lacked standing because, at the time of the alleged infringement, the specific artistic work had not been registered with the Albanian Copyright Office. The KCGJL noted that neither court evaluated the substantive merits of the lawsuit, limiting their assessment strictly to the plaintiff&#8217;s standing based solely on the lack of certification. Albanian copyright legislation enshrines the principle of automatic protection, under which authors enjoy copyright over their creations by the sole fact of their realization. Unlike other intellectual property rights, which must be registered to be recognized by third parties and to receive legal protection, the existence and enforcement of copyright do not require any registration or other formal procedures. For these reasons, the KCGJL decided to overturn the decision of the Tirana Court of Appeal and remanded the case for retrial to the Court of Appeal of General Jurisdiction in Tirana, to be heard by a different judicial panel. Sentenza n. 00-2025-2238 (273), del 21.05.2025 del Collegio Civile L&#8217;autore di un&#8217;opera d&#8217;arte gode della protezione automatica dei suoi diritti per il solo fatto della realizzazione della creazione, e non pu\u00f2 essere privato della legittimazione attiva ad agire in giudizio per la tutela del diritto d&#8217;autore sulla sola base della mancanza di registrazione o certificazione. Il ricorrente esercita la professione di fotoreporter e giornalista. In occasione della scomparsa di una nota cantante, durante le cerimonie commemorative organizzate dal Ministero della Cultura, \u00e8 stata utilizzata una fotografia scattata dal ricorrente, il quale ha richiesto il risarcimento del danno subito. Tale danno consiste sia nel danno patrimoniale \u2014 ovvero il lucro cessante derivante dalla mancanza di un contratto tra le parti in virt\u00f9 del quale la pubblicazione avrebbe generato un compenso \u2014 sia nel danno morale. Quest&#8217;ultimo costituisce un diritto non patrimoniale legato alla personalit\u00e0 dell&#8217;autore dell&#8217;opera d&#8217;arte nel rapporto con i suoi fruitori, che nel caso di specie si manifesta con l&#8217;alterazione, la svalutazione e il deterioramento dell&#8217;immagine dell&#8217;opera, nonch\u00e9 con l&#8217;impatto negativo trasmesso a lettori e spettatori. Il Tribunale di Tirana ha respinto la domanda del ricorrente e la Corte d&#8217;Appello","og_url":"https:\/\/www.petani-lawfirm.com\/sq\/vendimi-nr-00-2025-2238-273-date-21-05-2025-i-kolegjit-civil\/","og_site_name":"Petani Law Firm","article_published_time":"2026-07-16T07:18:53+00:00","article_modified_time":"2026-07-16T07:21:43+00:00","og_image":[{"width":2560,"height":2560,"url":"https:\/\/www.petani-lawfirm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/case-studies-petani-scaled.webp","type":"image\/webp"}],"author":"Stafi","twitter_card":"summary_large_image","twitter_misc":{"Written by":"Stafi","Est. reading time":"6 minuta"},"schema":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Article","@id":"https:\/\/www.petani-lawfirm.com\/vendimi-nr-00-2025-2238-273-date-21-05-2025-i-kolegjit-civil\/#article","isPartOf":{"@id":"https:\/\/www.petani-lawfirm.com\/vendimi-nr-00-2025-2238-273-date-21-05-2025-i-kolegjit-civil\/"},"author":{"name":"Stafi","@id":"https:\/\/www.petani-lawfirm.com\/sq\/#\/schema\/person\/6dde4e6d9a37ed818d90e2333ea4df90"},"headline":"Vendimi nr. 00-2025-2238 (273), dat\u00eb 21.05.2025 i Kolegjit Civil","datePublished":"2026-07-16T07:18:53+00:00","dateModified":"2026-07-16T07:21:43+00:00","mainEntityOfPage":{"@id":"https:\/\/www.petani-lawfirm.com\/vendimi-nr-00-2025-2238-273-date-21-05-2025-i-kolegjit-civil\/"},"wordCount":1305,"commentCount":0,"publisher":{"@id":"https:\/\/www.petani-lawfirm.com\/sq\/#organization"},"image":{"@id":"https:\/\/www.petani-lawfirm.com\/vendimi-nr-00-2025-2238-273-date-21-05-2025-i-kolegjit-civil\/#primaryimage"},"thumbnailUrl":"https:\/\/www.petani-lawfirm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/case-studies-petani-scaled.webp","articleSection":["Petani Blog"],"inLanguage":"sq","potentialAction":[{"@type":"CommentAction","name":"Comment","target":["https:\/\/www.petani-lawfirm.com\/vendimi-nr-00-2025-2238-273-date-21-05-2025-i-kolegjit-civil\/#respond"]}]},{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https:\/\/www.petani-lawfirm.com\/vendimi-nr-00-2025-2238-273-date-21-05-2025-i-kolegjit-civil\/","url":"https:\/\/www.petani-lawfirm.com\/vendimi-nr-00-2025-2238-273-date-21-05-2025-i-kolegjit-civil\/","name":"Vendimi nr. 00-2025-2238 (273), dat\u00eb 21.05.2025 i Kolegjit Civil -
