Copyright vis-a-vis Translation

re: Copyright vis-a-vis Translation

Jayant Tewari, OutSourced CFO

If the Translator is contracted by the Copyright Owner or Licensee of the Copyright Owner, the copyright remains with the Contractor and not with the Translator - standard work for hire terms apply. Non-payment cannot be grounds for tights to accrue to the Translator unless specifically stated in the Contract - a standard phrasing I've reccomended is that "all rights in the output shall pass to the Customer on full payment therefor" ...
As a translator all litigation is restricted to civil suit for recovery of dues, unless the above phrasing is used. You have no right to restrict usage of your output without your bing paid ...
Royalty, if at all, would be as per the contract .... while its feasible conceptually, you'll need to evaluate a cash price vs future royalty pricing trade-off.
Heartiest Condolences .... and all the best !!!
