What is Copyright?

What things are copyrighted?

Copyright ©Copyright is a form or protection given to the

author or creators of “original works”

Copyright promotes “creativity, innovation and the spread of knowledge” (U.S. Constitution)

1787: U.S. Constitution According to Article I, Section 8, Clause 8 of the U.S. Constitution, “the Congress shall have power… to promote the progress of science and useful arts, by securing for limited times to authors and inventors the exclusive right to their respective writings and discoveries.”

1790: Copyright Act of 1790 – The First Congress implemented the copyright provision of the U.S. Constitution in 1790. It granted American authors the right to print, re-print, or publish their work for a period of fourteen years and to renew for another fourteen. The law was meant to provide an incentive to authors, artists and scientists to create original works. Major revisions to the act were implemented in 1831, 1870, 1909 and 1976.

That means no one else can do anything to the work unless you give them permission.
