auteursrecht

Except for this copyright, my work is protected by the Dutch copyright law (called Auteursrecht). This grants exclusive rights to the author of a work of literature, science or art. It was originally intended to cover books, but today it applies to many other materials including films, recorded music and visual art.

Auteursrecht includes exclusive publishing rights and allows the author to make and sell copies of his or her work. It also includes the exclusive right to make products derived from the copyrighted work and to publicly display the work (or to grant permission to do so). This is normally recorded in a license contract between someone who has created a copyrighted work and someone who wishes to use that work. Unlike patents, which grant monopolierecht ("monopoly right") on inventions, copyrights only apply to specific creative manifestations of one or more ideas. Copyrights, however, can be bought and sold.
Generally, the owner of a copy of a copyrighted product can do with the copy as he or she pleases, even without actual ownership of the copyright, provided that no copies are made and the product is not modified. Those who acquire modified copies from the copyright holder are also bound by these limitations. There are some limits on what the owner of a copy can do with it. For example, public displays of the creative work are regarded as a form of copying.

Aside from those mentioned above, there are a few legal differences between auteursrechten and copyrights. Artists and musicians (not just the company with distribution rights) are also granted the right of resale, which means they are entitled to a royalty each time a copy of the work is published or exhibited. This is known as naburige rechten (literally "neighboring rights").

Auteursrechten, like the French idea of "droits d'auteur", implies not only legal but also moral rights. An author is theoretically given, in addition to the right of ownership, the right to be recognized for the work rather than being criticized for it. Regardless of whether property rights are allocated to the publisher or to the author, the author retains this moral right.

All information: Copyright Act (Netherlands) (1912)

All photographs, videos, illustrations, graphic design and text appearing in the viory.com site are also protected by the Dutch 'Auteursrecht'.
This also counts for my photographs and articles published elsewhere.
