Copyrights

Copyright can be defined as - "the exclusive legal right to reproduce, publish, sell, or distribute the matter and form of something (as a literary, musical, or artistic work)." Many people publish many things in today's day and age.  These publishing can take place anywhere from the Internet to even artwork in an art gallery or a form of music.  As many of these publishings can be seen publicly more often than not then there must be a form of protection for the author or creator of the work.  This is where copyright comes in.  Once an article is copyrighted it gives the author/creator exclusive rights to any form or reproduction or legal rights against illegal reproduction of their work.  Copyright infringements are happening more of than any would expect in any format of work as piracy of movies or music is happen now more than it ever has.  Many of these works or built from intellectual property or "property (as an idea, invention, or process) that derives from the work of the mind or intellect; also  :  an application, right, or registration relating to this."
