YEREVAN, JULY 25, NOYAN TAPAN. The system and legislation of copyright "reprinted" from the Western Armenian do not operate in Armenia and it is necessary to return to the system operating in the Soviet years. This opinion was expressed by letter creator Ruben Tarumian during his conversation with a Noyan Tapan correspondent. According to him, it is expedient that, in particular, authors are paid annual sums for using the complete set of matrixes by the RA National Book Chamber at the expanse of the RA state budget. Such an order is considered to be justified, according to Ruben Tarumian, since, for example, the use of a good matrix by publishers contributes to the good sale of the publication and its great tax volume. The prices of the complete sets of matrixes in the international scene fluctuate depending on the fact of how many complete sets a customer buys at once from the general network site or a shop on a laser disc. For example, the "Adobe" company sells discs of complete sets of 9 to 10 thousand matrixes, which cost 9 to 10 thousand dollars and the "AGFA Monotype" company sells discs of complete sets of 140 to 150 matrixes by 300 to 400 dollars, and as for the prices of the complete set of a matrix through internet sites, they can fluctuate between 20 to 100 dollars. According to Ruben Tarumian, the graphic complete set of a matrix is created during a month on average. He also mentioned that not only Armenian but also foreign letter creators, who often take first prizes, take part in international competitions with Armenian matrixes.
