What is Copyright?
Copyright is a legal right that grants the creator of original work (like literary, artistic, musical, or software content) the exclusive right to use, distribute, and reproduce that work. In India, copyright is governed by the Copyright Act, 1957.
Once registered, the creator can stop others from copying, distributing, or using their work without permission — and can even sue for damages in case of infringement.
