Copyright Ownershiphi— - Individual Authorship is a concept that recognizes the ownership of creative works by the individual who created them. It is the legal right of the creator to benefit from their work and to control how it is distributed and used. Copyright law protects the rights of authors, artists, and other creators, allowing them to receive credit for their work and to profit from its sale or licensing. There are two main types of copyright: economic and moral. Economic rights are the rights to control the economic exploitation of a work, allowing the copyright holder to receive a financial benefit from the work. Moral rights are the rights to receive recognition for the work and to prevent distortion or modification of the work without permission. The concept of copyright also applies to derivative works, which are works that are based on or incorporate elements of another work. In most cases, derivative works are still subject to copyright and the original copyright holder retains control over the use and distribution of the derivative work. Individual authorship is important in copyright law because it grants legal protection to creators of original works. Copyright protection allows authors to receive credit for their work and to benefit financially from it, allowing them to continue producing creative works.
