Copyright enforcement refers to the legal measures taken to protect the rights of creators over their original works, such as music, literature, and art. This process ensures that creators can control how their works are used and distributed, preventing unauthorized reproduction or distribution. When copyright infringement occurs, the copyright holder can take action, which may include sending a cease and desist letter or filing a lawsuit. Enforcement helps maintain the value of creative works and encourages innovation by ensuring that creators receive recognition and compensation for their efforts.
