What is copyright?
Copyright is the right of the creator of a work to determine how, where and when his or her work can be made public or be reproduced. Copyright is automatically applied and is founded in the copyright act. The rights to a work that has been created in service of an employer (or on assignment), are owned by the employer. This conforms to the collective agreement for Universities of Applied Sciences, article E-7 and article 7 of the Dutch copyright act.
