Copyright refers to the system of intellectual rights of the author, thanks to whose creative work a work was formed in the field of literature, science, and various fields of art. So, what does the phrase "copyright" mean?
Copyright and Dissemination of the Notion
Now the term "copyright" as an integral part fit into our daily lives. Increasingly, the phrase “all rights reserved” is widely heard, and various types of products protected by copyright in the current business occupy the largest part. In addition, we are now faced with such types of creativity, about which twenty years ago we had not even guessed. From the foregoing, it follows that the growing importance of the concept of copyright can be explained by a significant expansion of its scope. The legislative protection of new forms of creativity has become the reason and catalyst for the active exchange of knowledge and, of course, strengthened the economic effect of copyright.
What is copyright
A number of copyright options are identified: they may be property and not; exceptional and not. A person who has exclusive rights is the only one authorized to exploit the work and distribute it publicly. It has the right to forbid anyone to use the result of their own intellectual work - their work. Usually we are talking about the author. If he has not signed a specific copyright agreement with which he transferred his exclusive rights to new copyright holders. Persons who have a non-exclusive right to creative work are given the opportunity to use it, if this is documented. At the
same time, the author can be calm, he has all rights reserved, non-exclusive rights are transferred by the copyright agreement (if there are no such points). Rights of a non-property plan are those that exclude the ability to produce what they do with the property - purchase, sale, gift, transfer.
Copyright Registration Nuances
The form that protects intellectual property is copyright. This is a certain set of legal norms that are associated with the creation and distribution of works of culture, science, art. The aim of the authors' desire to consolidate their rights is to prove that during the registration period this copyright subject is in an objective form, in which case all copyrights are already protected. When claims to authorship are encountered and the issue of copyright protection arises, such actions committed earlier can be very useful.
How copyright is defined and protected in the Russian Federation and other countries
The Berne Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works is designed to protect copyrights in all countries that have signed it. Accordingly, under her protection are all works of authorship of citizens of the Russian Federation, regardless of which country they were registered in and whether it was done at all. If we talk about copyright protection at the international level, then, as in Russia, registration is not mandatory for them. If the author needs not just the fact that all rights are reserved, but the proof that at the time of registration the work is in an objective form, you need to consolidate the authorship in the Russian copyright society. For situations of non-compliance with copyright, it is important to know that the proceedings must be conducted in the state where it was committed, in accordance with the laws of that state.
Copyright mark
The fact that the rights are protected, often, in particular on various resources on the network, is indicated by the special sign "all rights reserved." It is often used with the name of the copyright holder. Immediately indicate either the specific year the material is published, or the time interval. The special graphic image, which indicates copyright protection, is the Latin letter C, which is located inside the circle. This choice is due to the fact that this is the initial letter of the English term copyright (English copyright, from "copy" and "right").
The fact that all rights are protected on the site is sometimes reported using the letter C, enclosed in brackets - (c).
It should be noted that this sign in itself does not form additional rights. His presence does not correlate with the licensing of creative work. The inscription "copyright - all rights reserved" is only a specific copyright certificate. She, as it were, states that the text or work belongs to. And vice versa - non-placement of a mark does not mean at all that this intellectual property is not protected.
According to the laws of the Russian Federation, copyright appears upon the creation of a work. For copyright protection to work, its mandatory registration or other certificates are not needed.
Terms of the author's right to work
The emergence of copyright, as mentioned above, is interconnected with the very fact of the creation of the work. The legislation of Russia does not contain a mechanism for fixing copyright to creation. The person who created the work is recognized by the author. He has: the exclusive right to the object, the right of authorship, the right to a name, to the inviolability of a work, to its publication. They certify that all rights are reserved, text or information, thanks to which it is possible to identify the author or copyright holder. Typically, such data can be found on the original copy of the work. They may be attached to it, may be attached, or made public by broadcasting, and thus be communicated to the public.
Rights of the author of the property plan
When all rights are reserved, the author has a number of property rights . He can reproduce his work, he can demonstrate it publicly, execute, import, distribute it by any convenient means, translate, make overhauls, transmit it for public viewing on television, and broadcast it. It is better for the author immediately after the creation of the work to consolidate the evidence that he is its owner at a given time. In case of assault, this will remove all questions. If this is not done and claims for authorship arise, the true creator can obtain evidence through a process such as escrow. Its result is evidence that guarantees reliable protection of the rights of the author on the Internet.
