Copyright

Copyright, a kind of intellectual property, protects original works of authorship as soon as the author fixes the work in a tangible form of expression. Paintings, pictures, graphics, musical compositions, sound recordings, computer programs, books, poetry, blog posts, movies, architectural works, plays, and a lot more are all considered work in the context of copyright law.

For a defined amount of time after which the copyrighted object enters the public domain, copyright law grants original content producers the sole right to continue using and duplicating their work.

Those who produce artistic works are given a legal benefit known as a copyright. Copyrights are protected by the "Copyright Act, of 1957" and its numerous modifications. Copyright registration protects the owner's ownership rights in their creation. The copyright registration procedure encourages writers to generate more because it protects the work of authors, painters, and designers.

Although the concept itself is not protected by copyright registration, it aids the author in preserving the unique creative expression of a thought. Also, it encourages creativity and aids in preventing unauthorized usage of the original work.
