Copyright Basics-Adrienne

Copyright is a sort of protection that keeps others from stealing your original work without consequence. You wouldn't want others to steal something you've worked hard on, would you? Copyright makes it illegal for anyone other than you to make copies, distribute, or publicly display or perform your work. As the creator of your work, you essentially have complete control of your work, though there are exceptions. Copyright protects original works in a tangible form of expression.
Copyright is owned by the original author of the work, except in the case when something is created on commission.
Anyone who exploits the copyright of the author has committed copyright infringement. Copyright infringement can be punishable by a fine.
