Copyright Law is a legal framework that protects the rights of creators over their original works, such as books, music, films, and art. It grants the creator exclusive rights to reproduce, distribute, and display their work, preventing others from using it without permission. This protection typically lasts for the creator's lifetime plus an additional number of years, depending on the jurisdiction.
The main purpose of Copyright Law is to encourage creativity and innovation by ensuring that creators can benefit financially from their work. It also allows for certain exceptions, such as fair use, which permits limited use of copyrighted material without permission for purposes like criticism, comment, or education.
