The official translation for "Urheberecht" unfortunately _is_ "Copyright". However this is bad as Copyright is only a part of what I call "Authorship Right". "Authorship Right" cannot be transferreed.
I think the proper term for these rights is "moral rights".
And this is one of the big problems when taling to FSF in USA. They generally like you to transfer the Copyright to FSF wich cannot be done as long as you write the contract on English because this language does not have the right words to express the real factual situation.
A solution for German citizens is under way.
