Copyright

Copyright is a way to protect different kinds of things you create.

This can include music, books, pictures, and even computer programs. When you have copyright protection, it means others can’t use your stuff without your permission.

Here’s why copyright protection is a good thing:

1. Exclusive Rights: It gives you special rights to your work. This means others can’t copy or use it without asking you first.
2. Stopping Copycats: Just having copyright can make people think twice before copying your work. They know you have legal rights.
3. Taking Action: If someone still copies your work, you can take legal steps to stop them. You can also ask for money if they used your stuff without permission.

By knowing about copyright, you can:

• Let others use your work, but they have to ask first.
• Keep your name connected to your work, even if others use it.
• Say no if someone changes your work in a way you don’t like.

Copyright is like a shield for your creations. It helps you control what happens to your work and makes sure you get the credit and protection you deserve.
