The Author's Right

The Author’s Right is a legal principle that grants creators—such as writers, composers, and artists—the exclusive control over how their work is used, shared, and sold. It ensures they can benefit financially from their efforts and retain moral rights, like acknowledgment. This right encourages creativity by protecting intellectual property, allowing authors to decide who can reproduce, distribute, or adapt their work. It’s a vital aspect of copyright law, balancing the interests of creators with the public’s access to cultural and informational content.
