Understanding Copyright

Copyright is a legal protection granted to the creators of original works, such as literature, music, art, and digital content. When someone copies, distributes, or uses copyrighted material without the creator’s permission, they are infringing on those rights.

Unauthorized copying can lead to serious legal consequences, including lawsuits, financial penalties, and content takedown notices. It also undermines the work and effort of creators who rely on their intellectual property for recognition and income.

Always make sure to get permission before using someone else’s work. Respecting copyright not only helps avoid legal problems but also supports creativity, innovation, and the fair treatment of artists, developers, and professionals worldwide.
