What rights do I have over my work?

US Copyright Law provides 6 exclusive rights to copyright owners: (1) reproduction, (2) adaptation, (3) distribution, (4) performance, (5) display, and (6) digital sound recording. These 6 exclusive rights protect the owner in two ways. The first is economic, giving the owner the right to charge any person who wishes to copy, perform or record their work for any commercial or non-commercial use. The second is moral, protecting the work from any use or arrangement that is contrary to the wishes of the copyright owner.
