Abstract

Copyright is a form of protection provided by the laws of the United States (title 17, U.S. Code) to the authors of “original works of authorship” including literary, dramatic, musical, artistic, and certain other intellectual works. This protection is available to both published and unpublished works. For example, a copyright protects original works of authorship giving the holder exclusive rights to reproduce or copy, produce derivative works based on the copyrighted work, distribute copies of the work, perform the work freely, and display the work publicly.
