it is "the right to copy", but also gives the copyright holder the right to work

forms, who may perform the work, who may financially benefit from it, and
other related rights. It is a form of intellectual property (like the patent, the
trademark, and the trade secret) applicable to any expressible form of an
idea or information that is substantive and discrete.

material supports the author's argument in the claimed
way, and to help the reader gauge the strength and
validity of the material the author has used. It subscribes
