A Copyright is a form of intellectual property right granted to the authors of original works of authorship, including literary, dramatic, musical, artistic, architectural, and certain other intellectual works, that have been fixed in a tangible medium of expression, such as a book, photograph, recording, building, drawing, and the like.
The Copyright owner generally has the exclusive right to reproduce the copyrighted work, to prepare derivative works, to distribute copies of the copyrighted work, to perform the copyrighted work publicly, or to display the copyrighted work publicly.
The Copyright protects the form of expression of the idea rather than the idea itself.
