Authors' rights

Authors' rights are legal protections that recognize creators' ownership of their original work, such as writings, art, or music. These rights allow authors to control how their work is used, shared, and adapted. Essentially, they can decide who can reproduce, distribute, display, or modify their creations. These rights help authors earn recognition and compensation, encouraging ongoing creativity. Typically, authors have automatic rights upon creating their works, though they can also choose to transfer or license them to others. Protecting authors' rights ensures creators maintain control and benefit from their intellectual property.
