====Rights Relating to Reproduction and Distribution of a Work====
====Placeholder Section Heading #3====


The heart of copyright law is the right to make copies of a protected work. This is called the '''"right of reproduction."''' The copyright holder has the exclusive right to make or authorize such copies.  Creating a copy without the authorization of the holder infringes upon the copyright, unless permitted by an exception to or limitation on the reproduction right.  As we saw in [[Module 2: The International Framework]], the right of reproduction is widely acknowledged by international agreements.  As we will soon discuss, however, those same agreements also empower member countries to create exceptions and limitations to this (and other) rights.  The copyright statutes of virtually all countries recognize the right of reproduction.
