4.1
Copyright is a form of intellectual property law that protects original works of authorship, including literary, dramatic, musical, and artistic works. This means that copyright owners have the exclusive right to copy, distribute, perform, display, and create derivative works based on their copyrighted works.
Copyright registration with the IPR Authority establishes a legal record of your ownership of a creative work, effectively serving as a shield against unauthorized copying or infringement. It grants the creator exclusive rights to control the reproduction, distribution, adaptation, translation, and performance of their work, empowering them to pursue legal action against those who violate their rights.
For instance, downloading an image from Shutterstock and utilizing it on your own website without purchasing or renting it constitutes copyright infringement. Shutterstock, as the copyright holder, can file a lawsuit against you to reclaim the image's value.
