Copyrights
Copyright is a legal right that protects original works of authorship, such as books, music, art, and software. It grants creators exclusive rights to reproduce, distribute, and display their work. Copyright protection arises automatically upon creation and lasts for the creator’s lifetime plus 70 years in many countries. Exceptions include fair use, which allows limited use without permission for purposes like education, commentary, or news reporting.
