Abstract

Open Access is known as a movement that aims to democratize knowledge in society, making it easily consulted by the users. On this matter, documents such as the three statements (3 Bs or BBB - Budapest, Bethesda and Berlin) aim to encourage and share practices and discussions regarding open access. On the other hand, Brazil also has legal institutions and provisions, such as Law No. 9610 of February 19, 1998, which aim is to consolidate and regularize copyright. In this article, we discuss the three fundamental declarations of the movement (3 Bs) and its relation with the Copyright Law, to verify if there is a convergence or divergence between the spirit of the declarations and the law. As a conclusion, the Copyright Law does not cover all the needs stated by the movement. In this way, alternatives are sought to protect authors and at the same time offer users some rights.
