Because any given work has several associated rights and may have any number of rightsholders, the rights may be divided any number of ways. If you write a book and I illustrate it, we may split everything such that anyone wishing to use it in any way needs to get permission from both of us, or we may consider our contributions separately, such that someone wishing to make an audiobook only needs your permission, not mine. We can also give a publisher the right of translation only into certain languages, or a film studio the right only to make a live-action adaptation, not animation.
