Copyright Tips from experts* at CopyrightsNow.com
You've written a book. Now what? How do you protect it from piracy? And what are your copyrights?
What is a Copyright?
A copyright is a form of legal protection granted to the creators of original works, such as printed book, e-book, audio-book, video, photos, illustrations, pictures, songs, software and website.
It gives the copyright holder the exclusive right to reproduce, sell, distribute, and display the work, as well as to create derivative works based on it.
Copyrights enable authors to make money by selling their work and preventing others from copying or selling their work without their permission or a license. This means that others cannot use, share or distribute the work without the copyright owner’s permission.
In the U. S., your copyright protection lasts for your lifetime, plus 70 years**.
While you are automatically granted a copyright when you create an original work, the U. S. Supreme Court requires that you register your copyrights before filing a lawsuit to protect and enforce your rights. You can register both unpublished and published works.
