Copyright Law
Copyright Law is the legal framework that protects the rights of creators over their original works, including literature, music, art, and software. It grants authors, artists, and other creators the exclusive right to use, distribute, and modify their creations for a certain period, typically the creator’s lifetime plus 50 to 70 years after their death. Copyright laws vary by country but are harmonized through international treaties like the Berne Convention, ensuring creators are protected worldwide. These laws balance protecting creators’ rights with the public’s interest in accessing and using cultural works.
