A copyright is a legal declaration of who owns a specific intellectual property (such as a movie, song, book or design). It also describes in detail all the rights of the property’s owner to earn from it. It states that no one can use or profit from a creative work without the owner’s permission and appropriate compensation.

Copyright is like the land title on your real estate property. No one else can build on your land or use it without first getting your permission.
