This document discusses the nature and scope of copyright protection. It defines copyright as a bundle of intangible rights granted to creators of certain artistic works for a limited time, allowing them exclusive control over copying and distribution. Copyright protects original works of authorship and generally lasts 60 years after the creator's death. It does not protect facts, ideas or systems. The scope of protection includes rights to copy, derive works, distribute, perform and display the work publicly. There are limitations like fair use and works in the public domain are not protected.

2. Copyright
• A bundle of intangible rights granted by
statute to the author or originator of
certain literary or artistic productions,
whereby, for a limited period, the
exclusive privilege is given to that person
(or to any party to whom he or she
transfers ownership) to make copies of
the same for publication and sale.

3. Copyright Protection
• The term copyright protection may refer
to two things:
1.The monopoly granted to authors
by copyright, as in "The 1996 act
provided additional copyright
protection," or "Permission is not granted
to use these images, which are protected
by copyright."

4. • Copy protection mechanisms that prevent data,
usually digital data, from being copied. The term
"copyright protection" is occasionally seen in this
usage, but is an error ; copy protection or Digital
Rights Management is the usual term.
• What does copyright protect?
Copyright, a form of intellectual property law,
protects original works of authorship including
literary, dramatic, musical, and artistic works, such
as poetry, novels, movies, songs, computer software,
and architecture. Copyright does not protect facts,
ideas, systems, or methods of operation, although it
may protect the way these things are expressed.

5. Scope of Copyright Protection
• If you are an author of an original work and
worried sick about the scope of the protection
of your favorite work then you should not miss
this page! It talks about the scope of the
copyright protection.
• Copyright protection generally gives the owner
of the copyright the exclusive right to do the
following:

6. • The general rule is that copyrights last for 60
years. But - To reproduce the work
- To prepare derivative works based upon the
work
- To distribute copies of the work to the public
- To perform the work publicly
- To display the copyrighted work publicly, and
- In the case of sound recordings, to perform the
work publicly by means of a digital audio
transmission.
• The owner may also authorize others to exercise
these rights.there is a difference of start date
between certain types of original works.

7. 1. In the case of original literary, dramatic, musical
and artistic works the 60-year period is counted
from the year following the death of the author.
2. In the case of cinematograph films, sound
recordings, photographs, posthumous publications,
anonymous and pseudonymous publications,
works of government and works of international
organisations, the 60-year period is counted from
the date of publication.
• There are some very important limitations on the
reach of copyright protections.

8. 1. Doctrine of fair use is the most important
of the copyright limitations. This allows
others to use portions of copyrighted works
for purposes such as reviews, commentary,
news and scholarship.
2. Items which are not copyrightable, such as
titles, names, common facts and ideas are
not protected.
3. Some works are in the public domain and
may be used by anyone. This includes
works where the copyright has expired.

9. • Automatic
Copyright is an unregistered right which subsists
automatically as soon as the work that is eligible
for protection is created and recorded on some
medium.
• Originality
The work protected need not be new. However, it
must be original in the sense that it is not copied
from some other source but is the result of an
application of effort by the creator of the work.
Nature of Copyright Protection

10. • Exclusions
Copyright protects the expression of ideas
but not the idea or concept underlying a
piece of work. For that reason,
procedures, methods of operation and
mathematical concepts are excluded from
copyright protection

11. 1.protection provides a vital incentive for the
creation of many intellectual works.
Without copyright protection, it would be
easy for others to exploit these works
without paying any royalties or
remuneration to the owner of the
work. Copyright therefore encourages
enterprise and creates a favourable climate
to stimulate economic activity.

12. 2.Copyright protection provides benefits in
the form of economic rights which entitle
the creators to control use of their literary
and artistic material in a number of ways
such as making copies, performing in
public, broadcasting, use on-line, etc. and
to obtain an appropriate economic
reward. Creators can therefore be rewarded
for their creativity and investment.
