- dhs 15y agoAt least in Germany, as an artist, the only way to transfer your "Urheberrecht" to somebody else is to die. See §29 of the "Urheberrechtsgesetz" (copyright law) [1]: "Das Urheberrecht ist nicht übertragbar, es sei denn, es wird in Erfüllung einer Verfügung von Todes wegen oder an Miterben im Wege der Erbauseinandersetzung übertragen." (Translation: "Copyright is not transferable, unless it is transferred in execution of a testamentary disposition or to coheirs in the way of partition of an estate.")
