Isn't copyright non-transferrable? You'd get certain usage rights, but copyright will always remain with the original artist.
- thaumasiotes 8y agoI have no idea what you're talking about. Obviously, the historical facts are that copyright was transferable at the time. It's certainly transferable right now. Why is your sentence set in the past tense, and what are you thinking of?
- ygra 8y agoNon-native speaker; tense used reflects how such questions are stated in my native tongue; didn't have any semantics to it.
- yoaviram 8y agoYou're confusing copyright with moral rights[1], although even moral rights are transferable. [1] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moral_rights https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moral_rights
- heretoo 8y agoDepends on which country you are in: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copyright_law_of_Germany https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copyright_law_of_Germany
- heretoo 8y agoI think that is how it is in Switzerland. The "Urheber" is the person with the original copyright, but can hand over the usage rights to someone else, in turn losing them. [update: copyright in German might be like this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copyright_law_of_Germany https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copyright_law_of_Germany]
- ygra 8y agoAh, very dependent on the jurisdiction, then. I thought it was more or less similar everywhere.
