Cultural arts act as a method of interpreting culture of a country, its traditions and the perspective of the artists; this cannot be blatantly copied but only interpreted.
Paintings, literature and reinterpretation of folklore (dances/songs) visually showcase the artist’s perspective but this may not be the same way the audience and the government of the country interpret the artwork.
Problems arise when there is a conflict in practicing rights.
The artists may argue on their right to create whereas the original copyright holder does not recognize such nuances of artistic intent.
Filing suits tend to be expensive due to which minor breaches are neglected and major breaches are fought only by the wealthiest of the society.
This problem exacerbates with the fast pace of development and new innovation.
Legal systems of many countries tend to fall back on imposing laws that keep in pace with the technological advancement.
Plagiarizing work of arts has become very common and this may lead to decay of the cultural aspect of a country, thus, losing its originality.
Cultural arts are also at threat of breach of copyright out of the country since there is no standard, internationally accepted law in place to protect it.
There is a prevailing problem in reinterpretation of cultural arts, as the cultural identity may be lost in the process.
