Copyright is a legal concept that grants creators the exclusive rights to their original works. It covers various forms of creative expression like literature, music, art, software, and more. Rights Granted by Copyright:

[2] The right to make copies of the work. [3] The right to distribute copies to the public. [4] The right to create new works based on the original. [5] The right to present the work publicly. [6]

Copyright protection typically lasts for the creator's lifetime plus a certain number of years (varies by country). [7]

Some exceptions allow limited use of copyrighted material without permission for purposes like education, criticism, or news reporting. [8]

Unauthorized use of copyrighted material without permission constitutes infringement. Legal consequences include penalties, fines, and potential legal action. [9]

With the internet, issues like online piracy, digital rights management (DRM), and protecting digital content have become prominent. [10]

Respecting copyright means obtaining permission to use copyrighted material or using it within legally allowed limits. Crediting the creator and acknowledging the source is important even when permitted.
