What is copyright?
A copyright is a form of intellectual property, which secures to its holder the exclusive right to
produce copies of his or her works of original expression, such as a literary work, movie, musical
work or sound recording, painting, photograph, computer program, or industrial design, for a
defined, yet extendable, period of time. It does not cover ideas or facts. Copyright laws protect
intellectual property from misuse by other individuals.
