COPYRIGHT Meaning and
Definition
-
Copyright is a legal term that refers to the exclusive rights granted to the creator or author of an original work. It is a form of intellectual property law that aims to protect the rights of individuals or entities, preventing others from using or reproducing their work without permission.
The main purpose of copyright is to provide creators with the ability to control and profit from their creations, incentivizing innovation and creativity. It grants the author certain exclusive rights, including the right to reproduce the work, distribute copies, publicly display or perform it, and create derivative works. These rights are automatically granted to the creator as soon as a work is fixed in a tangible form, such as writing, recording, or printing.
Copyright helps maintain the balance between the rights of creators and the public interest. While it grants creators exclusive rights, it also includes limitations and exceptions to promote access to knowledge and cultural expression. Fair use, for example, allows limited use of copyrighted works for purposes such as criticism, commentary, news reporting, teaching, or research.
To protect their copyright, creators often use the copyright symbol (©), along with their name and the date of creation. In some cases, creators may also register their copyright with a government agency, which provides additional legal protections and benefits, such as the ability to pursue legal action and claim damages in case of infringement.

Etymology of COPYRIGHT
The word "copyright" originates from the combination of two terms: "copy" and "right".
The term "copy" comes from the Latin word "copiare", which means "to transcribe or transcribe". In the context of copyright, it refers to the act of making a copy or reproduction of a creative work.
The term "right" comes from the Old English word "riht", which denotes a "just claim or legal entitlement". In the context of copyright, it refers to the exclusive legal rights that the creator or owner of a work possesses.
The fusion of these two words, "copy" and "right", led to the formation of "copyright", representing the legal rights granted to creators or owners of original works to reproduce, distribute, display, or perform their works.
