Copyright
Do You Legally Own What You've Created? Yes And No.
The way copyright law generally works is you as the "author" (this title defines a work's creator no matter what medium the product is created for) are awarded sole ownership of your work for no less than your entire life plus 70 years. As you might've guessed, this can be very lucrative for artists and their families for a substantial amount of time.
The Curious Case of Copyright Law
Copyright law is a beautiful thing. Its purpose is to encourage the creation of artistic works for the general public by giving artists exclusive ownership of their work for the term of their life plus 70 years. This incentive allows artists and their estates to recoup royalties for that amount of time. While the intention was to benefit the public, many "artists" lose sight of this fact and only see dollar signs ahead of them.
