Copyright is the intellectual property right that authors have over their works. It allows the author of a work (photograph, painting, drawing, illustration, sculpture, etc.) to decide how his or her work may be distributed or used.
Copyright is an "intangible" right that is independent of the right of ownership of the material object that serves as the medium for the work (canvas, stone, paper, etc.). The purchaser of the original medium for the work does not, therefore, acquire the rights to the work itself (art. L111-3 of the French Intellectual Property Code): any reproduction or representation of the work must be made exclusively with the author's permission.
