What is
copyright?
The exclusive legal right granted by a government to
an author, editor, composer, playwright, publisher,
or distributor to publish, produce, sell, or distribute
a literary, musical, dramatic, or artistic work, within
certain limitations. Copyright law also governs the
right to prepare derivative works, to reproduce a work
or portions of it, and to display or perform a work
in public. Such rights may be transferred or sold to
others. Copyright protects a work in the specific form
in which it was created, not the idea, theme, or concept
expressed in the work, which other writers are free
to interpret in a different way. A work never copyrighted
or no longer protected by copyright is said to be in
the public domain.
Or
A collection of rights relating to the reproduction,
distribution, performance and so forth of original literary,
musical, dramatic or artistic works, films, sound recordings,
broadcasts and other matter. The copyright owner has
the exclusive right to do, or allow others to do, the
acts set out in the legislation
