Copyright is a type of intellectual property that gives its owner the exclusive right to make copies of a creative

work, usually for a limited time.[1][2][3][4][5] The creative work may be in a literary, artistic, educational, or musical form.
Copyright is intended to protect the original expression of an idea in the form of a creative work, but not the idea
itself.[6][7][8] A copyright is subject to limitations based on public interest considerations, such as the fair use doctrine
in the United States.
Some jurisdictions require "fixing" copyrighted works in a tangible form. It is often shared among multiple authors,
each of whom holds a set of rights to use or license the work, and who are commonly referred to as rights
holders.[citation needed][9][10][11][12] These rights frequently include reproduction, control over derivative works,
distribution, public performance, and moral rights such as attribution.[13]
Copyrights can be granted by public law and are in that case considered "territorial rights". This means that
copyrights granted by the law of a certain state, do not extend beyond the territory of that specific jurisdiction.
Copyrights of this type vary by country; many countries, and sometimes a large group of countries, have made
agreements with other countries on procedures applicable when works "cross" national borders or national rights
are inconsistent.[14]
Typically, the public law duration of a copyright expires 50 to 100 years after the creator dies, depending on the
jurisdiction. Some countries require certain copyright formalities[5] to establishing copyright, others recognize
copyright in any completed work, without a formal registration.
