Michael Harrington describes the six exclusive rights of copyright law in detail. The first is the right to copy a work. The second is the right to make a derivative work - a work derived from something you’ve already done. This could mean someone wants to make a movie out of your song, and you, as the songwriter, have the right to approve or decline. The third is the right to distribute your work to the public. This means you are in control of selling/renting your product and how it gets sold/rented. The fourth is the right for you to perform your work in public. This means when your song is played in public, you are paid for it! You can also decide that you don’t want it performed by other people. The fifth is the right to display your work in public, such as lyrics. This can pertain to putting lyrics on clothing or other visual objects. The sixth is that you have the right to exclude anyone from broadcasting or streaming the recording. About E. Michael Harrington: Dr. E.
