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, Web sites, and architecture.
Copyright law protects the intellectual property rights of people who develop original creative works, such as art, literature and music. Copyright gives the creators of original works the exclusive right to profit from their work for a set amount of time, usually the life of the creator plus 70 years. A basic level of copyright protection arises automatically when a work is created.
