You can't lost the 'Urheberschutz' IMHO this is translated with
'copyright'
But you can give others the right to copy your work (license).
If you make a song, you have the 'Urheberschutz' aka 'copyright'.
You give a musik company the right to sell copys per I-Net, CD, ...
and you get some money (copy license). Normal they don't have the
permission to change your work etc.
