Copyright organizations are entities that manage and protect the rights of creators, such as authors, musicians, and artists. They ensure that these creators receive compensation when their work is used or distributed. These organizations often collect licensing fees and distribute royalties to the rightful owners, helping to support the creative industries. Examples of copyright organizations include the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (ASCAP) and the Broadcast Music, Inc. (BMI) in the United States. These organizations play a crucial role in enforcing copyright laws and providing resources for creators to understand their rights and responsibilities in the digital age.
