Copyright Information

What is a "copyright"?
A copyright is a legal right that protects creative content like movies, TV shows, books, sound recordings, music
videos, photographs, published articles and other artistic works. The point of copyright law is to encourage the
development of new creative content by giving the original creator certain exclusive rights to use the content.

Who is the copyright owner?
The original creator of the content owns the copyright to start with. The copyright owner can give someone
else permission to use the content and can even sell the copyright to someone else.

What rights does a copyright owner have?
Only the copyright owner can copy, upload, display, distribute, publicly perform, and sell his or her content.

Do I own any copyrights?
If you create wholly original content, you would own a copyright in that content. For example, if you write and
record a brand new song, make a home video, write a poem, or take a photograph, you would own the copyright
in all that content.

If I purchase a copy of a copyrighted work, do I own the copyright?
No. There is a difference between owning a physical copy of a copyrighted work and owning the copyright.
For example: If you buy a music CD, you own that copy of the CD, but you do not own the copyright to the songs
on that CD.
