А. О. Аракелова The researchers examine the phenomenon of “literary slavery”, i. e. writing fiction and science fiction by order, under the name of a client without citing the name of real author. The researchers conclude that in the Russian Federation, the ghost writers’ rights are completely protected by the national copyright law. The contracts between ordering customer and author of literary (science fiction) work that provide for actual abandonment of authorship and confidentiality, are void. With solid evidence, a hypothetical case of crediting literary scribe for the work published under the name of other person is highly likely to be won by the executor. There is a belief among the ghost authors and their patrons that the binding contract they sign to transfer the exclusive rights to the work and provisions for absolute confidentiality, will insure against any risks. Besides, there is a belief, that the literary scribe would lost his or her professional reputation if resort to court or otherwise disclose the true authorship. This is partially true: the terms of this specific market suit the two parties and violation a status-quo is equally disadvantageous to both parties. At the same time, the extant Russian laws interpret the situation of literary slavery against the customers of these intellectual services.
