Copyright is a legal concept that is part of the intellectual property area of law, historically known from common law systems of various jurisdictions. It gives the creator of an original work, or another owner of the right, the exclusive, legally secured right to copy, distribute, adapt, display, and perform a creative work, usually for a limited time. The creative work may be in a literary, artistic, educational, or musical form.
