Copyright Registration
What is Copyright?
Copyright is a legal protection given to creators of original works, including literary, artistic, musical, and digital content, ensuring they have exclusive rights over the use, reproduction, and distribution of their creations. It applies to various forms of expression, such as books, movies, paintings, software, and music, safeguarding them from unauthorized copying or exploitation. Copyright grants the creator the sole authority to authorize how others may use their work, whether through reproductions, public performances, or adaptations. This protection typically lasts for a specific period, usually the lifetime of the creator plus an additional number of years, depending on the jurisdiction. By granting these exclusive rights, copyright encourages creativity and innovation, allowing creators to profit from and control the use of their intellectual property while also benefiting the public by making creative works more accessible within the confines of the law.
