What are the economic and moral rights in a work?
A clear overview of creators' rights and why precise documentation matters.
Moral rights preserve the link between a work and its creator, while economic rights concern the ways a work is exploited commercially. Recording roles and agreements precisely is the basis for managing both.
Something worth recording
Keep the contract, the production history, the file versions and the details of the contributors in order. A complete file removes future ambiguity.
A practical suggestion
Every case has its own circumstances; the documents should be assessed before choosing how to proceed.
