Copyright violations
Why
Copyright in a work combines several rights that may be violated by third parties. Therefore , an exclusive right is the right to use a work in any form and in any way that does not contradict the law. It is alienable and may belong to the author or copyright holder other than the author. Conversely , the right of authorship and the right of the author to the name belong only to the author and are inalienable and non-transferable.
1265 Note. According to article 1265 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, the right of authorship is the right to be recognized as the author of a work, the right of the author to a name is the right to use or permit the use of a work under one’s own name, under a pseudonym or anonymously.
In addition, there are rights to the inviolability of a copyrighted work, the right to publish and recall it, the right of access, the right to follow, and the right to receive remuneration for work done for hire.
Without the consent of the copyright holder, third parties cannot use the copyrighted object, with the exception of cases specified by law. Regardless of whether a person is a user of the copyright object, its author or the current copyright holder, in the case of illegal use of a work, it is necessary to clearly understand which rights have been violated and what consequences they may entail for different entities.
