DIRITTO D' AUTORE

The Italian term for "Author's Right". It refers to the legal right that an author has over their original work, such as a book, music, or artwork. This right allows the author to control how their work is used, reproduced, and distributed.

• An author has the right to decide if their book can be translated into another language.
• A musician has the right to control how their music is used in commercials or movies.
• An artist has the right to prevent others from making copies of their artwork without permission.

These examples illustrate how the author's right gives creators control over their work and how it is used. It allows them to protect their intellectual property and ensure that they are properly credited and compensated for their creations.
