Copyright Hayden

What is copyright? Copyright is a law that protects (so no one can take credit for it) original work. Work can be a painting, books, sculpture or drawings. Copyright does not cover slogans, ideas, methods, principals, titles or names. Copyright lasts up to 70 years after the death of the creator/author. How do you get these rights? They come automatically. What are your rights? Nobody can copy your work or display your work publicly. But this does not mean you can't use other people work. You just need to cite your source. This is easy using sites like citation machine or noodle tools. Two or more authors? You both have the rights to it unless there is an agreement. This law was put in place because people with great talent should be recognized for it. Almost nothing would be shared if people could not be recognized for it.
