Copyright Act

The Copyright Act is a law that protects the rights of creators over their original works, such as books, music, films, and artwork. It gives authors and artists exclusive rights to use, reproduce, and distribute their creations for a certain period. This means others cannot legally use their work without permission. The act encourages creativity by ensuring that creators can benefit from their work while also allowing limited use by others for purposes like criticism, education, or research under "fair use" provisions. Overall, it aims to balance the interests of creators, consumers, and the public.
