Copyright is a form of legal protection automatically granted to original creative works—such as writing, music, art, software, and film—giving the creator exclusive rights to reproduce, distribute, and adapt the work. It is a key area of intellectual property law relevant to authors, artists, publishers, and businesses that create or license content. Understanding copyright involves knowledge of fair use, licensing, registration, and infringement issues.
