Author rights, your rights

SURFdirect, SURF’s digital rights expert community, has produced a short
film on Author rights, your rights.
In a short film (2,5 minute) Dirk Visser, Professor of intellectual
property law at Leiden University and Martijn Katan, Professor of Nutrition
at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam make a point of copyright being author
rights. Therefore the author must always carefully consider whether it is a
good idea to transfer his copyright to a publisher, and in most cases this
is not a good idea and even unnecessary. More and more publishers see
reason and accept that a complete transfer of rights cannot be demanded
from authors.
