Do children hold the copyright over their own creative works?
<p>I was recently looking at a story I wrote when I was 8 years old. I presume that, however the law works exactly, I now hold copyright over it at age 30. But think about when I originally wrote it. Did I get automatic copyright ownership of it, as is typically the case when one makes a creative work? Or did my legal guardians hold the copyright instead, because I was a minor?</p>

<h2>Children own their own stuff</h2>

<p>Legal guardians are legally responsible to preserve it and use it in the child’s best interest.</p>

<p>If doesn’t matter if that stuff is real, personal or intellectual property.</p>
