Ethics refer to what is morally right and wrong.
Copyright is a type of intellectual property that protects original works of authorship as soon as an author makes it to a physical form . Copyright is also called Authors rights.
RIGHTS AUTHORS HAVE OVER THEIR WORK.
The right to prevent misrepresented or false productions of the work by anyone.
The right to approve or allow others to make copies of the work and not just find out somewhere that someone has made copies without permission.
There are certain works that are protected by copyright such as:
Books, pamphlets
Illustrations, Architecture and Science.
Cinematography.
Drawings.
Computer programs in some other countries.
Due to the introduction of digital technologies even these copyright protected works can be easily copied. Which is why it is very important to know what a copyright is to prevent copying someone else's work without their permission. Even copying without permission has disastrous consequences.
