Safeguarding Your Creative Endeavors

**Copyright** is the legal entitlement granted to creators of **music, art, literature, movies, and software**. It safeguards and incentivizes their creative endeavors by conferring exclusive rights. Omitting copyright registration can expose one's work to unauthorized copying, reproduction, or duplication without due credit to the original creator.

Why Copyright Registration is Important

While copyright exists upon creation, registration offers substantial legal advantages:

• **Legal Protection:** Copyright legally protects the owner's right to his work, especially when published for copy, financial gain, or otherwise.
• **Easier Infringement Action:** Once registered, it becomes much easier to take legal action against a person who illegally uses or copies your work.
• **Exclusive Rights:** The registration has been given to the creator of the work, to make a copy or to copy or translate or to adapt the work.

Exclusive Rights Granted to the Copyright Owner

• **Right to Reproduce:** The owner has the exclusive right to reproduce his work or authorize someone else to do it.
• **Public Accessibility:** The copyright holder can make his/her work publicly accessible.
• **Renovation & Adaptation:** The owner can renovate the work to publish in different media forms (e.g., translation, adaptation).
• **Licensing/Assignment:** The copyright holder can assign or license the work to a third party with a legal agreement, but the ownership generally remains with the original holder.
• **Infringement Damage Fees:** The owner can file a legal case and ask for damage fees in case of infringement.
