Copyright
What is Copyright?
Copyright is a legal term that grants exclusive rights to creators of original works. This includes literary, dramatic, musical, and artistic works such as books, poems, articles, paintings, photographs, films, music, choreography, computer programs, websites, databases, advertisements, brochures, maps, and technical drawings. Copyright protection automatically arises as soon as the work is fixed in a tangible form, providing the creator with a bundle of exclusive rights.
Why Copyright Protection Matters
As a copyright holder, you are safeguarded against unauthorized reproduction, distribution, performance, or display of your work. This protection is crucial for:
- Preserving Ownership: Ensuring that only the original creator can authorize the use of their work.
- Generating Revenue: Preventing unauthorized use that could deprive you of earnings.
- Encouraging Creativity: Providing legal assurance that your creative efforts will be protected.
