Copyright management refers to the processes and practices involved in overseeing the use and protection of creative works, such as music, literature, and art. It ensures that creators maintain their rights and receive compensation for their work. This includes registering copyrights, monitoring usage, and enforcing rights against unauthorized use. Effective copyright management often involves organizations like ASCAP or BMI that help artists collect royalties. It also includes tools and technologies that track how and where works are used, ensuring that creators are acknowledged and rewarded for their contributions to culture and society.
