Do you have any art, sculpture, music, song, choreography, craft, designs poetry, software, graphic design, idea, photography, movie, game, web site or any other original material? Well, a copyright is something that you will need. A copyright gives the owner of a creative work the right to said work and the right from anyone else using these original ideas. A copyright can last for many years. It will last for 75 years after the death of the creator and if the creator was a business, it will last up to 120 years.
Copyright are very useful if you don't want anyone stealing your ideas. Theft of ideas, unfortunately, happens a lot these days and you have to protect yourself as much as you can.
Ok, so this is what I need to do to protect my lyrics from being stolen correct? I make music and I want to protect my lyrics and musical notation.
ReplyDeleteYes. That is correct. Using a copyright can protect your original work.
