Frequently asked questions:

A copyright is a legal protection that grants creators exclusive rights to their original works. You need one to safeguard your creative works from unauthorized use and benefit from legal protections and remedies in case of infringement.

Copyright can apply to a broad range of works, including literary works, music, visual arts, software, and even architectural designs. It covers original expressions of ideas, not the ideas themselves.
In most cases, copyright protection lasts for the lifetime of the author plus 70 years. For works created by corporations, it’s typically 95 years from publication or 120 years from creation.
Copyright owners have exclusive rights to reproduce, distribute, display, and create derivative works from their original creations.
Providing credit doesn’t necessarily grant you the right to use copyrighted material. You should obtain proper permission or determine if your use falls under “fair use” exceptions.
Fair use allows limited use of copyrighted material for purposes like criticism, commentary, news reporting, education, or research. Courts consider factors like purpose, nature, and amount when evaluating fair use.
