What is Copyright?
Copyright is a legal right granted to the creator of an original work. It provides exclusive rights to reproduce, publish, distribute, adapt, license, and commercially exploit the work.
Under the Copyright Act, 1957, copyright protection is available for:
- Literary works
- Books and publications
- Software and computer programs
- Websites and digital content
- Artistic works and designs
- Photographs and illustrations
- Music and sound recordings
- Films and videos
- Educational materials
- Architectural works
Copyright protection arises automatically upon creation of an original work, but registration strengthens ownership claims and legal enforcement.
