creators the right to control how their work is used, reproduced, distributed, and displayed.

 Copyright protection is automatic when a work is created and fixed in a tangible form, like
writing a book or composing a song.
 The duration of copyright protection varies by country but typically lasts for the creator's
lifetime plus a specific number of years.
