Copyright
Copyright protects ideas in their expressed forms (e.g., words and illustrations). Ideas alone are not protected. Works that are protected by copyright include novels, computer programs, plays, sheet music, and paintings, among others. Generally, the author of a copyrighted work has the right to reproduce, publish, perform, communicate and adapt their work. These exclusive rights form the bundle of rights that we call 'copyright,' which gives owners the right to control the commercial exploitation of their work.
