Copyright registration is not mandatory, but it is the safest way to claim authorship of the work and prove the date it was created. Copyright should be made official in organs and different institutions for each creative area. IPLatam provides the registration of texts and literary works, in the National Library, of drawings, in the School of Fine Arts, of music, in the School of Music, of films, in the National Institute of Cinema, of plans, in the Federal Council of Engineering, Architecture and Agronomy, and computer programs, at INPI (National Institute of Industrial Property).

COPYRIGHT means that reproductions, modifications, distributions or trading of the work must be authorized by its creator.

ATTRIBUTION means that the work can be used as long as the author is credited.

NON-COMMERCIAL means the work is released for non-profit use or distribution.

PUBLIC DOMAIN, in Brazil, is when, 70 years after the author’s death, his works can be sold without payment of rights.

What are moral rights?

They are those who guarantee the work’s paternity. They cannot be sold, transferred or abdicated, as, according to the law, they are inalienable and non-waivable.

What are property rights?

They are those who guarantee the right to commercially exploit the work, to earn money from it. The author allows the use of his creation and thus makes a profit.
