Do you know what is Copyright?
Understanding Copyright protection
What is Copyright?
A copyright is a collection of rights that automatically vest to someone who creates an original work of authorship – like a literary work, song, movie or software. These rights include the right to reproduce the work, to prepare derivative works, to distribute copies, and to perform and display the work publicly.
Types of Works Protected
- Literary works (books, articles, poems)
- Musical works and sound recordings
- Cinematographic works and movies
- Computer software and programs
- Artistic works and designs
Automatic Protection
Copyright protection automatically vests upon creation of an original work. However, registration provides additional benefits and legal advantages.
Registration creates a public record of your copyright and provides stronger legal protection in case of infringement.

Understanding Copyright rights and protections
The Right to Reproduce Works
The reproduction right grants the copyright owner the ability to control the making of a copy of the work. It is arguably the most important of the rights as it is implicated in most copyright infringement disputes.
Examples of Activities:
- • Pasting a news article into an email
- • Photocopying a magazine
- • Uploading movies or music to a website
- • Copying a computer program or document
- • Scanning or digitizing printed text or images
- • Right-clicking to copy online photographs
The Right to Create Derivative Works
The derivative work right grants the copyright owner the ability to control the transformation of their works into new works. Transformations can include annotating, editing, translating, modifying or making other types of changes to the work.
Examples of Activities:
- • Translating a book
- • Transforming a novel into a motion picture
- • Creating an updated version of software
- • Making sequels or spin-offs
- • Creating adaptations and modifications
The Distribution Right
The distribution right grants the copyright owner the ability to control the manner in which a work or a copy of a work is transferred to others, whether by sale, rental, lease, or lending.
Examples of Activities:
- • Copying and emailing news articles
- • Uploading music files to websites
- • Renting software or sound recordings
- • Selling or lending copies of works
- • Distributing unauthorized copies
The Public Performance Right
The public performance right grants the copyright owner the ability to control the manner in which a work is publicly performed. A performance is considered "public" when performed in public places or transmitted to multiple locations.
Examples of Activities:
- • Showing motion pictures in public areas
- • Streaming movies over the internet
- • Broadcasting sports events or concerts
- • Performing music in public venues
- • Live streaming performances
The Public Display Right
Authors have the exclusive right to control the public display of works that can be displayed—like photographs or graphic designs. This right can also include displaying a literary work on a web page or displaying a single image from a TV show or motion picture.
Examples of Activities:
- • Displaying photographs in galleries
- • Showing graphic designs on websites
- • Displaying literary works on web pages
- • Showing images from TV shows
- • Public exhibition of artistic works
Digital Audio Transmission Right
Owners of rights in sound recordings have the exclusive right of public performance by means of digital transmission. This enables sound recording owners to license their work to streaming music services.
Key Features:
- • Only applies to sound recordings
- • Limited to digital audio transmission
- • Enables licensing to streaming services
- • More limited than general performance right
Important Copyright Information
Key points about Copyright protection
Multiple Rights Infringement
A single unauthorized use of a work can potentially infringe more than one exclusive right.
Example: Uploading an MP3 file of a song to a website without permission would infringe both the reproduction and the distribution rights.
Limitations and Exceptions
Each of these rights are subject to certain limitations and exceptions.
These limitations may significantly limit the application or enforceability of these rights, including fair use exceptions and other legal provisions.
