7.4.1.3-1: Someone has published the first few chapters of a book I am writing on social networks without my knowledge. Is my work deemed to have been disclosed?

FAQ

In accordance with Art. 9 para. 3 CopA, the author must be the one to disclose their work. This provision is violated if parts of a work are published without the author’s knowledge and these parts have an individual character (Art. 2 para. 5 CopA). Beyond this violation, the work is not deemed to have been disclosed if it was done without your consent.
