Copyright & Media Protection

Subheading with an brieft overview of this page

A copyright “protects original works of authorship” that are fixed in a “tangible medium of expression.”

These types of works include literary, musical, dramatic, education, and artistic, among others. Copyright does not extend protection on the underlining ideas, facts, systems or methods of operation or business, concepts or discoveries.

As a copyright holder, you have six exclusive rights including reproduction, distribution, creation of derivative works, public performance, public display, and in the case of sound recordings, the right to digital audio transmission. These rights may be licensed, sold, donated to charity, or passed on to heirs.
