What is Copyright?
The purpose of the copyright law is to promote the use of copyrights and to protect the rights of the copyright owner. A copyright is an exclusive right given to an author of an original created work. It is property, an asset, a legal interest, protected by law. Included in the exclusive rights given to the copyright owner is the right to copy the work into any form such as in print or as a sound recording.
