The creation of antisocial works under the author’s order agreement

The study presents the characteristics of anti-social works. The author proves that in case of creation of an antisocial work the author’s order agreement should be recognized invalid. The consequences of invalidation of the agreement are determined. The research substantiates that it is necessary to enshrine the unilateral restitution in civil legislation if the transaction is invalid. In the author’s opinion, the civil liability for antisocial work with respect to other persons should be directly borne by the creator, i.e. the author, because he created such a work. The individual responsibility should be discussed in this regard. A similar conclusion about the individual civil liability of the author can be made if both the author and the customer distribute the antisocial work. In addition to the civil liability of the author, the creation of an antisocial work entails liability under the public law.
