1. Reproduction: Reproduction refers to copying, imitating, making copies, creating molds, recording sound, or recording images of all or part of a copyrighted work that one owns. However, the copyright owner and the owner of the copyrighted work may be different individuals. Only the copyright owner has the exclusive right to perform acts on the copyrighted work, while the owner of the copyrighted work may only have ownership rights as a proprietor.
2. Adaptation: Adaptation refers to reproducing a work by changing its form, improving, modifying, or simulating the essential elements of the original work without creating a new work, whether in whole or in part.
3. Communication to the public: Communication to the public means making a work available to the public by performing, reciting, playing, displaying by sound or image, constructing, or distributing it.
4. Rental of the original or copies of the work: The rental of the original or copies of a work is limited to four types of works: computer programs, audiovisual works, cinematographic works, and sound recordings. This means that those who purchase these four types of copyrighted works cannot reproduce, adapt, or communicate them to the public, nor can they rent them to others.
5. Granting benefits arising from copyright to others.
6. Authorizing others to exercise the rights under points 1, 2, or 3. In addition to the rights mentioned above, the copyright owner also has the right to authorize others to exercise any of their rights in the copyrighted work, such as reproduction, adaptation, communication to the public, rental of the original or copies of the work, or granting benefits arising from the copyright to others. This authorization may be granted absolutely or non-exclusively, and may be granted to others for a specific period, depending on the agreement.
