COPYRIGHTS
Copyright is a form of intellectual property law that protects the original works of creators and prevents others from using, copying, or distributing their work without permission. This includes computer software, artistic, literary, and other creative works.
Registering Your Copyright
While copyright protection automatically exists when a creative work is created, registering your copyright with the U.S. Copyright Office provides additional benefits. Registration is a relatively simple and inexpensive process that establishes a public record of your copyright ownership. This makes it easier to prove ownership in court if someone infringes upon your copyright.
Licensing Your Work
Copyright owners have the exclusive right to copy, distribute, display, perform, and create derivative works based on their copyrighted material. However, they can allow others to use their work through a license. A license is a legal agreement that outlines the terms and conditions for using the copyrighted work, such as the scope of use and any fees or royalties required.
Unfortunately, copyright infringement does occur and often requires litigation to protect the copyright owner's rights.
