WHAT IS COPYRIGHT?
Copyright © is a legal right that gives creators ownership and control over their original work. It allows you to decide who can reproduce, share, or adapt your creation.
In simple terms, when you create something a book, song, photo, design, or code copyright ensures that only you (or someone you authorize) can use it.
After registration, your work is protected for your lifetime and 60 years after your death, ensuring your legacy and your family’s rights remain secure.
