Editing Copyright (section)

=== Ownership ===
The original holder of the copyright may be the employer of the author rather than the author themself if the work is a "[[work for hire]]".<ref>17 U.S.C. §&nbsp;201(b); Cmty. for Creative Non-Violence v. Reid, 490 U.S. 730 (1989)</ref><ref>[[Community for Creative Non-Violence v. Reid]]</ref> For example, in [[English law]] the [[Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988]] provides that if a copyrighted work is made by an employee in the course of that employment, the copyright is automatically owned by the employer which would be a "Work for Hire". Typically, the first owner of a copyright is the person who created the work i.e. the [[author]].<ref name="fairuse.stanford.edu">{{Cite web |url=https://fairuse.stanford.edu/overview/faqs/copyright-ownership/ |title=Copyright Ownership: Who Owns What? |last=Stim |first=Rich |website=The Center for Internet and Society Fair Use Project |publisher=Stanford University |access-date=21 July 2019 |date=27 March 2013 }}</ref> But when more than one person creates the work, then a case of [[joint authorship]] can be made provided some criteria are met.
