Copyrights are legal protections granted to creators of original works, such as literature, music, art, and software, that give them exclusive rights to use, reproduce, distribute, and display their creations. This intellectual property right ensures that creators can control how their works are used and can benefit financially from them. Copyright typically lasts for the life of the author plus a number of years (often 70 years in many jurisdictions), after which the work enters the public domain. Copyright does not protect ideas, facts, or concepts; rather, it protects the expression of those ideas in a tangible form. Unauthorized use of copyrighted material can result in legal consequences, including fines and damages. The purpose of copyright is to encourage creativity and innovation by providing incentives for creators to produce new works.
