Copyright
Your copyright is the bloom of your thoughts, the outcome of your brainstorming, the victory of the fortunate dreams over the unfortunate ones. That’s certainly worth protection.
Copyright is the exclusive right granted to the author to reproduce a work, its public performance, recording, translation, adaption or any substantial part.
Works covered by copyright range from books, music, paintings, sculpture, and films, to computer programs, databases, advertisements, maps, and technical drawings.
