Copyright is legal protection for original works of authorship, including literary, dramatic, musical, and artistic works, such as poetry, novels, movies, songs, computer software, and architecture. It gives the copyright holder exclusive rights to reproduce, distribute, perform, display, or license their work. This protection extends to both printed and intellectual material. Copyright does not protect ideas, but rather the expression of those ideas in a tangible form.
