Can the owner of an original work reproduce that work without permission?
No. The owner of a work may not reproduce that work without permission simply because they own it. Only if the owner is also the author may they reproduce the work without obtaining permission.
If this is not the case, you must always obtain permission from the author or their heirs.
The reproduction right always remains with the author, even if the original work has been sold or transferred to someone else.
