Copyright

Copyright is a legal institution, within private law, which has the purpose of protecting the fruits of intellectual activity of a creative nature (i.e. the works must be new and original), through the recognition of the original author (or authors in case of creative collaboration) of the work of a series of both moral and patrimonial rights.

Copyright applies to figurative arts, architecture, theatre, cinematography, computer programs and databases, but some works are not protected, for example the laws or the texts of official acts of the State or public administrations.

The owner of the Copyright is generally the one who creates the work, but there are exceptions: as regards a newspaper, for example, the holder of the rights is the publisher, even if the various articles have been written by other employees (who, however, maintain the moral rights as the actual creators of the work in question); or for a cinematographic work, the owner of the rights is the producer.
