The Right of Attribution

The right of attribution is a legal or moral entitlement that gives creators, authors, or artists the acknowledgment for their work. It ensures that when someone uses or shares their work—such as writing, music, or art—they are properly credited to the original creator. This right helps maintain the creator’s reputation and control over how their work is presented. Essentially, it is the right to be recognized as the author or originator of a work, fostering respect and integrity within creative and professional fields.
