Abstract

Copyright is a legal protection granted to creators for their original works, such as music, literature, art, or software. It gives creators control over their work, including the right to determine how it is used, distributed, and reproduced. Creators can license their work to others, who must pay royalties for its use. Failure to pay royalties can result in the creator enforcing their copyright and taking action against the infringing party.It must meet three key conditions: originality, expression, and fixation. These conditions ensure that only certain types of creative works are protected under copyright law.
