  • Authors' rights are a part of copyright law. The term is a direct translation of the French term droit d'auteur, and is generally used in relation to the copyright laws of civil law countries and in European Union law. Authors' rights are internationally protected by the Berne Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works and by other similar treaties. "Author" is used in a very wide sense, and includes composers, artists, sculptors and even architects: in general, the author is the person whose creativity led to the protected work being created, although the exact definition varies from country to country. Authors' rights have two distinct components: the economic rights in the work and the moral rights of the author. The economic rights are a property right which is limited in time and which may be transferred by the author to other people in the same way as any other property (although many countries require that the transfer must be in the form of a written contract). They are intended to allow the author to profit financially from his or her creation, and include the right to authorize the reproduction of the work in any form (Art. 9, Berne Convention). The authors of dramatic works (plays, etc. ) also have the right to authorize the public performance of their works (Art. 11, Berne Convention). The protection of the moral rights of an author is based on the view that a creative work is in some way an expression of the author's personality: the moral rights are therefore personal to the author, and cannot be transferred to another person except by testament when the author dies. The moral rights regime differs greatly between countries, but typically includes the right to be identified as the author of the work and the right to object to any distortion or mutilation of the work which would be prejudicial to his or her honour or reputation (Art. 6bis, Berne Convention). In many countries, the moral rights of an author are perpetual.
  • El derecho de autor (del francés droit d'auteur) es un conjunto de normas y principios que regulan los derechos morales y patrimoniales que la ley concede a los autores (los derechos de autor), por el solo hecho de la creación de una obra literaria, artística, científica o didáctica, esté publicada o inédita. En el derecho anglosajón se utiliza la noción de copyright (traducido literalmente como "derecho de copia") que -por lo general- comprende la parte patrimonial de los derechos de autor. Una obra pasa al dominio público cuando los derechos patrimoniales han expirado. Esto sucede habitualmente trascurrido un plazo desde la muerte del autor (post mortem auctoris). Por ejemplo, en el derecho europeo, 70 años desde la muerte del autor. Dicha obra entonces puede ser utilizada en forma libre, respetando los derechos morales.
  • Il diritto d'autore è la posizione giuridica soggettiva dell'autore di un'opera dell'ingegno a cui i diversi ordinamenti nazionali e varie convenzioni internazionali riconoscono la facoltà originaria esclusiva di diffusione e sfruttamento, ed in ogni caso il diritto ad essere indicato come tale anche quando abbia alienato le facoltà di sfruttamento economico (diritto morale d'autore). In particolare, il diritto d'autore è una figura propria degli ordinamenti di civil law (tra i quali l'Italia), laddove in quelli di common law esiste l'istituto del copyright.
