What is "copyright"?

Copyright is a legal right that grants the creator of original works, such as music, literature, art, or software, exclusive control over how their work is used and distributed. This right allows the creator to control who can reproduce, perform, display, or distribute their work and to receive compensation for its use. Copyright protection is automatic upon the creation of the work and typically lasts for a specific period, after which the work may enter the public domain and be used freely by others.
