Literary, scientific or artistic works are eligible for copyright protection. The maximum term of protection of a copyright is up to 70 years after the death of the creator of the work. The copyright holder has exclusive rights. This means that the work may not be published or reproduced without his permission. A copyright holder can therefore oppose any third party who reproduces, distributes, translates, adapts or otherwise commercially uses his work without permission. This protection is not only a form of recognition and reward, but above all an incentive for those who contribute to the arts, sciences or literature.
