Rights Holder

A rights holder is an individual or organization that owns or controls certain rights to a product, property, or intellectual property—such as a creator, author, artist, or company. They have legal authority to use, reproduce, distribute, or license that work. For example, a music artist is the rights holder of their songs, or a publisher may hold rights to a book. Recognizing rights holders is essential for respecting intellectual property laws, ensuring proper licensing, and allowing their work to be legally shared or sold.
