Writer's rights

Writer’s rights refer to the legal entitlements that protect a writer’s original work from unauthorized use or reproduction. These rights typically include control over how the work is distributed, adapted, or publicly displayed. They also enable writers to earn income through licensing, royalties, or sales. Essentially, rights ensure that writers maintain ownership and can decide how their creative efforts are used, while others must obtain permission or pay for permission to use the work. Protecting these rights encourages creative expression by ensuring writers are compensated and acknowledged for their contributions.
