Difference Between Copyright and droit D'auteur
The droit d’auteur, in France or in Germany, grants (subject to exceptions) the benefice of the right to natural persons (the author or his heir(s)) and denies it to legal persons (except for collective works) whereas copyright grants rights to the editor or the producer.
Copyright requires a material fixation of the work, as for example a speech or a choreography work, although it is an intellectual work (an œuvre de l'esprit), they will not be protected if they are not embodied in a material support. Such requirement does not exist under the droit d’auteur.
