Copyright with Tim&Moby


A copyright is a protection to original works like a painting or a photo or a book or anything. The public must get the permission of the copyright owner to copy the work. The owner of the copyright also has the power to give the right to someone else. But you can only hold the copyright for a few years, and then the work become part of the public domain. A public domain is where your work can be used or copied by anyone. The internet also gives you protection. Even the U.S Congress talks about copyrights. But you can't copyright an idea. If some one copies your work without permission, he is infringement. If you are infringement, you can be sued. So if you have an creative idea, copyright it!!!
