Derechos de autor

"Derechos de autor," or copyright, is a legal protection that grants creators of original works—such as books, music, films, and art—the exclusive rights to use, reproduce, distribute, and display their creations. This means others cannot copy or share these works without permission. Copyright encourages creativity by ensuring creators can benefit financially and retain control over how their works are used. It typically lasts for the creator’s lifetime plus a certain number of years afterward, after which the work enters the public domain for anyone to freely use.
