What is Copyright
Copyright protects creative or artistic works. You should only copy or use a copyrighted work with the copyright owner's permission. You can copyright:
- literature, including novels, instruction manuals, computer programs, song lyrics, newspaper articles and some types of database,
- drama, including dance or mime,
- music,
- art, including paintings, engravings, photographs, sculptures, collages, architecture, technical drawings, diagrams, maps and logos,
- layouts used to publish a work, for a book,
- recordings of a work, including sound and film,
- broadcasts of a work.
A copyright is a set of exclusive rights granted to creators on their literary and artistic works.

Copyright Registration
Copyright registration is a legal formality intended to make a public record of the basic facts of a particular copyright. However, registration is not a condition of copyright protection. Even though registration is not a requirement for protection, the copyright law provides several inducements or advantages to encourage copyright owners to make registration.
