Droit d'auteur

Droit d'auteur, or copyright in English, is a legal concept that grants creators exclusive rights to their original works, such as books, music, films, and art. This means that only the creator has the right to reproduce, distribute, or display their work. It aims to protect the creator's intellectual property and ensure they can benefit financially from their creations. In many countries, these rights last for the creator's lifetime plus a certain number of years, allowing them or their heirs to control the use of the work and receive royalties or credits for it.
