opphavsrettsinnehaverens

Opphavsrettsinnehaveren refers to the individual or entity that holds the rights to a copyrighted work. This can include authors, composers, artists, photographers, filmmakers, software developers, and publishers, among others. In most legal systems, the creator of an original work is automatically the first copyright holder. However, copyright can be transferred or assigned to another party. For example, an author might assign their copyright to a publishing company, or a musician might transfer their copyright to a record label. The copyright holder possesses exclusive rights to reproduce, distribute, perform, display, and create derivative works based on their original creation. These rights are granted for a specific period, after which the work enters the public domain. The copyright holder has the legal authority to grant permission for others to use their work and can take legal action against those who infringe upon their copyright.
