Music Copyright

Music copyright is a legal protection that grants creators exclusive rights over their original musical works, such as songs and compositions. This means they control how their music is used, including reproduction, distribution, performance, and adaptation. Copyright helps ensure that artists receive recognition and payment for their work when it's played, sold, or shared. Generally, copyright lasts for the creator's lifetime plus a fixed number of years, after which the music may enter the public domain, allowing anyone to use it without permission.
