74 Furthermore, Chapter II provides that the original holder of said rights is the author of the works, who will be deemed to be the person mentioned in the copy which has been registered. 105. As it has been proven, besides the erasure of the electronic information related to the book whose text was stored in two computers, sixteen copies of the book, one diskette containing its full text, three packs with five books each, three packs containing an indefinite number of sheets in excess of those used for the publication of the book, and envelopes containing the electrostatic masters used for the publication and the original text of the book, were seized from Ateli Limitada publishing company, while 874 copies of the book were seized from Mr. Palamara-Iribarne’s house (supra paras. 63(19) and 63(20)). On June 7, 1996 the Clerk of the Naval Court of Magallanes verified the existence of the material seized and issued a record accordingly. 106. The acts mentioned in the foregoing paragraph implied the actual deprivation of the property of Mr. Palamara-Iribarne’s tangible assets related to his book. Such deprivation of Mr. Palamara-Iribarne’s property rights over his works prevented him from publishing, disseminating, and marketing his creation, whereby he could neither obtain any economic proceeds from its publication nor benefit from the protection he was entitled to have over his works. It is evident that the book was registered by Mr. Palamara-Iribarne’s wife before two offices with the purpose of using and enjoying the related intellectual property rights. Such rights are susceptible of having value and were part of the author’s assets. 107. Furthermore, the erasure of the electronic information regarding the book prevented Mr. Palamara-Iribarne from modifying, reusing, or updating its contents, in case he wished to do so. In this regard, the Court deems that the contents of the intellectual property rights which protect the use, authorship, and integrity of the works, and whose exercise includes the right to disseminate the creation, are closely related to the two dimensions of the right to freedom of thought and freedom of expression (supra para. 69). 108. The Court notes that the right to property is not an absolute one and that Article 21(2) of the Convention states that for the deprivation of a person’s property to be in keeping with the right to property as enshrined in the Convention, it must be based on reasons of public utility or social interest, subject to payment of just compensation, and restricted to the cases and the forms established by law.187 In view of the circumstances of the instant case, the Court considers that it is evident that Mr. Palamara-Iribarne has not been awarded compensation by the State for the deprivation of the use and enjoyment of his property. 109. The Court notes that in the expert opinion requested by the Naval Prosecutor in Case No. 464 (supra para. 63(24)), two expert witnesses concluded that the book written by Mr. Palamara-Iribarne “did not brea[ch] the reserve and security of the Chilean Navy.” Furthermore, in the supplementary report to such expert opinion, the 187 Cf.
