artist, writer, inventor and entrepreneur … In fact, creative people and activities of all segments, especially young professionals, but also some with some experience behind them in their field, have made at one time or another they had misconceptions about what the right author, how it works, for what types of creative work, and what it can do for them.
So, we start with the obvious questions, and maybe everyone can have the copyright, what is it and why it is especially here
Let’s start with the last issue for the first time.
why copyright exists
Imagine this scenario: You build a cabin, for example, your own design. It is a beautiful Tudor style, the case of thatch, with a small garden and stunning views of rolling green hills with spectacular sunsets in the evening.
Now, imagine someone discovers about your holiday home unique and very attractive one day and moves as you are. You go home, suddenly find you can not go back to, and claim squatters inside, they have the house they built it, too, and even worse, they started to return rent house for a pretty penny. To make matters worse, they are now twice found the cabins to sell your design on the street and make more money. Now imagine that there was no right exists to give you the opportunity to reconnect to your property and no way to stop the usurper, or to make restitution of them to transfer their shares This
-. Admittedly crude – similar likes to be creative, which is why copyright exists
, as the Irish Patents Office (1) it places on their website regarding the nature of copyright.
“First, people to create works of authorship or investment in their development and dissemination as a matter of human rights the right to a fair return for their creativity and investment. Second, secure, unless the rights of authors and investors a reasonable return would be supported, will impoverish the community at large by the fact that in many cases, this work would not have created or developed. “(2 )
Our civilization progresses through creativity and innovation.
But for developers to create, they need to eat, they must live, earn money, receive recognition for their work and inspiration to maintain effort, when push comes to shove. Copyright is to get there and helping innovators get the product of their work. Copyright exists to promote creativity and creative people to live their creativity. Copyright exists, because it is the creative and economic sense to exist for the copyright.
If a writer makes money from their work, they earn money to continue writing. Once an artist deserves money from the licensing and production of images of works of art, they have income, so they invest their time productively in other projects. There is still copyright to promote innovation and prosperity, is for society as a whole and for each of the innovators.
Take on copyright and effectively tie their hands behind their backs to the creators. Imagine a world culturally, creatively, technically and economically disadvantaged, because the innovators have not had the reward – and the power, the use of protective -. Their efforts
In this sense, can lodge my analogy in the context of this moment, you are not a creative person, right? Imagine every time you create something, someone could come copy, claim as their own and probably make money, and without fear of consequences, because there was no law that their own actions punishable by law. They are very fast or not? What is the point of all the hard work when others could get the credit and reward?
Fortunately for us, that’s not how it is in the real world. Read again what the Irish Patent Office says it is a “… human right to a fair return for their creativity and sound investment. “I said, said nicely. So why copyright exists. But what exactly is the copyright copyright is …
And what can you do with this “intellectual property” to be true?
Well, some similar claims, but also copyright against various other forms of ownership, especially as the copyright owner (or owners) to:
copy, distribute and lend their professional licenses others (ie grant permission) to use the adapting the work of the author or holder of their work permit to another (for example the adaptation of a book into a film) created to sell their work – their intellectual property – the other, and what is important. .. have the power to stop an illegal violation of these rights by third parties, namely the reproduction and use of the copyright owner’s work without their permission … and receive compensation in the form of compensation or damages for loss of income when the injury is discovered. This is true for copyright holders to work, if published, published or otherwise released for consumption.
Not only that, but …
copyright moral rights
creator and curator of a copyrighted work is copyrighted, the rights of others in relation to their work with the title. be identified
Copyright (or photographer or artist or composer or director, etc.), and stop a work environment falsely attributed to the right of n Benda did not “moral rights” are at work to derogatory treatment (change, reorganization or deletion) from other “derogatory treatment” be where the work resulting maimed, deformed and can cause damage to creators / authors Rufdas right to privacy when it comes to certain photographs and films (eg, private photos Commissioner has the right not to have published or displayed to the public, where the photos to copyrighted works) has Here are some examples of these three points mentioned above: I have argued
, my moral right to be identified as the author of this article, I am entitled to do under the law ( 3). If this were a book of fiction, and it was adapted into a movie, I would also have the right, identified in the film as the author of the novel source are – unless you choose the right one. In contrast, Alan Moore, the now legendary disaster in the treatment of adaptations of his graphic novels and how it is, they feel a bad day contradicted his original work, asked him to demand his name the credits of the film, like Watchmen be removed.
If for some reason JK Rowling’s Harry Potter series of books have been credited knowingly and intentionally, my work and not him by someone else, could both she and I listen, false attribution. (4)
If while editing this book, I would be one third (editor, publisher or printer) had done a hatchet job on all my efforts, I could not let them know how I unhappy with this violence, but I would have the right to stop it. (5)
Finally, the portrait photo of my partner and I have paid a professional photographer on the walls, hang where we live … and nowhere else without our say-how.

You can see how to work the moral rights?
Now, I must mention, however, there are exceptions to moral rights, they can not be invoked when the copyrighted computer programs or computer-generated work (created without human intervention), or font design. Also, when the creator / author has not asserted his right as the creator / author, if this right is to be identified, the moral right has been violated. In addition, when the work creator / author for an employer who does / is the authorship of the work you produce yourself, you will not have this right (more on this “work made for hire” below ). Who owns the copyright
Now that we know the “what” and “why” of copyright can know “who” is this author “Owner” I mentioned is:
The right holder is the person or people who work protected by copyright. is
We created would have guessed that already.
Under copyright creators are then usually the first person (s) granted ownership of copyright in the work they created, as described above. (7) If you are someone who is a copyrighted work is created, the property rights of copyright material belonging to another … you. To be clear, nobody but you, the creator of the copyrighted work, has these rights, not your mother, your partner, not you, Mrs. Miggins down the road. (Yes, even you, too.) They are yours and yours alone (unless the work was created a joint effort). (8) Exclusive. Moreover, these rights are of someone else, unless and until you as the owner of the rights (sometimes called “beneficiaries” as well) permission to use it – or given / sold – - -. These rights licenses assigned
Sounds good, does not it? Works for me.
Having said that, but …
This is the property and then there
People may get the wrong end of the stick when they hear about paternity, so I thought – now that I recognize what the author -. it would be useful to clarify what it is not
Now that you are living products such as DVDs, CDs and books everywhere, and you do not you? I mean, you pay a lot of money for them, right? You, you are so sure of their owners. But does this mean you own the copyright subsisting in these products? Of course not. The author and / or publisher / distributor, the copyright notice. There is a difference then in possession of a copy of a copyrighted work, and to protect the copyright of the work. If you lose, have money for, say, a CD, you buy ownership of the copy on CD of the artist recording of the album, not the property of the original recordings themselves, nor the right make copies of the CD you purchased to produce either. If you have more than one author or in the production of work was involved, it is a common origin. Songwriting partnerships are a classic example being written because of a song together, they become a common origin. Then there is a commitment to produce some work. Were you a job? Check your copyright
We were all employees, and many of us were hired as a freelancer. And this time I can assure you, we have something in common, have written or drawn something for our employers. Does this mean, from what I described above, the author for us?
Not necessarily
.
You see, when we prepared this work as part of the tasks of our work, or if there had been commissioned by us, if we are part of the team working on a project, or if, Indeed, we are building something in the context of a “work made for hire” contract, then in all likelihood, the author will be our employer, not ours. So, you can even do the job properly and works, the rights that you were you accepted? Please look at the contract you signed with your employer. There are probably arrangements to cover this aspect of the property. Or are you self-commissioning other? Then the orders or agreements that you sign chic look. there clauses in the rules, intellectual property rights, so that these rights will be after paying for people you cover the rent So here we are, is what is copyright, its purpose, and learning to use it
