Meaning Of Copyright
 
Copyright protects the expression of an idea, like original and creative works of authors, artists, and musicians from illegal copying and use by others. Books, sculpture, music, choreography, and jewelry designs are some examples of such expressions that can be copyrighted. Copyright laws have been set to encourage intellectual pursuits and creativity by allowing artists to earn profit from their creations.
 
Copyright is a right of reproduction, which excludes others from reproducing literary, artistic, dramatic, musical and other works, including computer programs, photographs, recordings (audio / visual) films and other electronically disseminated information as well as sculptures, engravings and drawings.
