2. Copyright: Also known as "copyright", refers to an exclusive right enjoyed by the author for the creation of literary, artistic and scientific works within the validity period stipulated by law. The subject of copyright is the natural person or legal person who created the work, and people other than the author can also obtain copyright through legal channels. The object of copyright is a work with originality and some objective material expression, but the copyright law only protects the form of the work but not its ideological content. The content of copyright is usually divided into narrow sense and broad sense. In a narrow sense, copyright refers to the rights enjoyed by authors according to law, including personal rights and property rights of works. Copyright in a broad sense also includes neighboring rights, which mainly refers to the rights of publishers, performers, producers of audio-visual products and radio and television institutions. It is intangible, but also relatively exclusive and exclusive. Without the permission of the copyright owner or without legal basis, others may not exercise this right, otherwise it will constitute infringement.

3. Copyright and publishing right are the whole and part relationship, which is the master-slave relationship. Their main relationship is that the same copyright is the right arising from the creation and use of works, which usually refers to the exclusive right of citizens, legal persons or unincorporated units to possess, use and dispose of their own works. Copyright is just one of many rights in a work. The main difference between them is that publishing right and copyright are not the same concept, and publishing right is not equal to copyright. Copyright is the author's right, but in most cases, the author transfers or licenses the publishing right of his works to the publishing house. Publishing houses (such as publishing houses, newspapers, periodicals, radio stations, television stations, etc.). ) There is no publishing right, only publishing right or operation right, that is, specialized publishing of other people's works. However, due to the authorization or transfer of the author or other copyright owners, the publisher can enjoy the publishing right of a certain work of the author within a certain period of time. In other words, the publisher enjoys the publishing right because of the author's transfer. The publisher has published the author's work, and the copyright of the work (including the publishing right) remains the author's right (unless the author sells the copyright).
