What is copyright and what is it for?

Copyright (copyright) is a set of legal norms that regulate legal relations related to the creation and use of works of science, literature, architecture, art, etc. It gives the author a number of important powers, the exclusive right to use the work and its protection against illegal publication, reproduction, copying, distribution or modification by others.

What can be registered as a copyright?

Copyright protects works in the field of science, literature and art that have an original character. These can be literary works (novels, stories, poetry), musical compositions, paintings, sculptures, architectural projects, computer programs, photographs and cinematographic works, educational programs, lectures, speeches, pantomimes, music and light shows, choreographic productions, audiovisual works, translated texts for dubbing (including dubbing), subtitling, works of applied art, works of decorative weaving, ceramics, carvings, foundry, art glass, art forging, jewelry, collections of works, maps, drawings, sketches, plans , , as well as computer programs and databases. It is important that the work is the result of creative activity, expressed in any objective form and does not violate the rights of third parties. However, copyright does not include ideas, concepts, or facts because they have no specific expression.

The main purpose of copyright is to protect the interests of creators, motivating them for further creativity, as well as to provide society with access to cultural assets through the appropriate remuneration of authors. Thanks to this mechanism, authors receive recognition and financial compensation for their efforts.
