publishing rights

Publishing rights refer to the legal authority a person or organization has to distribute and reproduce their creative works, such as books, music, or art. When someone creates a piece of work, they usually own the rights to it, which allows them to control how it's used and shared. These rights can be sold or licensed to publishers, granting them permission to publish or sell the work in exchange for royalties or fees. Understanding publishing rights is essential for protecting an author’s or artist's intellectual property and ensuring they receive fair compensation for their creations.
