For example, if a book is copyrighted then the writer of the book owns the rights to the book, so that if any part of it is copied or used eleswhere without the copyright owner's permission, that is against the law, and the person who breaks the copyright can be prosecuted.

How do you get the right to publish someone's book?
You have to negotiate a contract with the owner of the copyright (usually the author or his/her heirs). When doing so you need to check what other contracts are in force that might interfere with the rights you are trying to acquire. For example, I own the copyright to a book written by me that was published in 1988. However, the right to publish the work is currently on loan to the original publisher and I cannot grant it to anyone else.
