A copyright is a series of rights that allow a creator to prohibit, or give permission, to the reproduction and use of their creative works. Unlike a trademark that protects a brand image, a copyright protects the actual creative works, such as literature, photographs, paintings, computer code, or even coreography. It does not protect an idea, but rather the actual creative work.

According to the Copyright Act of 1976, once a work has been registered, the copyright owner is the only party that can:

• Create reproductions of the work

• Create derivative works from the original work

• Publicly distribute copies of the work

• Publicly display or perform the work
