What is Copyright?
Copyright is a law that:
Gives the owner of a written document, musical composition, book, picture, or other creative work, the right to decide what other people can do with it.
Makes it easier for authors to make money by selling their works.
Because of copyright, a work can only be copied if the owner of the copyright gives permission. In more serious cases, a person who copies a work that is protected under copyright could be arrested, fined, or even go to prison. This is called plagiarism.
