What is a Copyright?
Copyright is a protection that covers published and unpublished literary, scientific and logical works, whatever the form of expression, provided such works are fixed in a tangible or material form. This means that if you can see it, hear it and/or touch it - it may be protected. If it is an essay, if it is a block of code, if it is an image, if it is a text, if it is a photograph, HTML or any language coding or a computer graphic that can be set on paper, recorded on tape or saved to a hard drive or any recordable device, it may be protected. Copyright laws grant the creator the exclusive right to reproduce, prepare derivative works, distribute, perform and display the work publicly. Exclusive means only the creator of such work, not anybody who has access to it and decides to grab it.When does Copyright Protection end, or expire?
The dates that you see in a copyright statement do not refer to the dates that the owner's material will expire and become public domain - they actually refer to the dates that the material was created. When you see several dates in a copyright statement, it simply means that certain things were created in one year and modified later. It could also mean that new things were created and added in a later year. It most definitely does not refer to the date that a copyright will expire.Copyright Information for this site
