Economic right refers to the legal right to make money from a creative work. This is different from moral rights, which are the rights a creator has to their work. Economic rights are mostly used in countries that follow civil law.
For example, if a musician writes a song, they have the economic right to make money from that song by selling it or allowing others to use it for a fee. However, they also have moral rights to the song, such as the right to be credited as the creator and the right to prevent others from using the song in a way that goes against their values.
These examples illustrate the difference between economic and moral rights and how they apply to creative works.
