What is called "copyright" in the US is Urheberrechte (authors rights) in Germany. It conceptually differs from US copyright, as it not only includes Vervielfaeltigungsrechte (copy and use rights) but Autorpersoenlichkeitsrechte (author personality rights) as well. German law allows the transfer of copy and use rights, but it completely forbids to give up author personality rights. Author personality rights include rights to being named as an author of a work, rights to forbid entstellende Modifikationen (defacing modifications?) and for some types of work that cannot be reproduced even the right of the author to access (visit) the work. German law also limits copy and use rights in certain more esoteric cases.
