NO. Author can decide to give copyrights to anyone. There are many Marathi authors who give copyrights of their books to their wife. And there are some who give to the publisher. And there are some authors working for social organisations where the copyrights are given to the organisaitons. // After the death of the copyright holder(if it is person)- not necessarily the author- protecting the rights becomes a legal issue. ( This is from my personal experience. I have to protect rights of some 100+ books for an author expired some years back ). // Regards, -Sudhanwa > > As Sudhanwa says, there is a difference between copyright (with author) > and publishing and distribution rights (with publisher).
