Before moving on to #CopyrightRegistration, let me tell you about copyright in brief. 

What is copyright?

Copyright is a form of #IntellectualPropertyLaw and is a set of exclusive rights given by the law to authors or inventors of artistic works, creators of musical works, sound recordings, producers of cinematography films, etc. In other words we can say that it’s a heap of rights consisting of adaptation, works translation, rights concerning the reproduction of work, and communication to the public. 

#Copyright ensures that minimum protection of the author’s right over their pieces, thereby protecting and rewarding creativity. The socio-economic advancement of a society is based upon creativity. The security granted by Copyright to the shots of designers, architects, writers, musicians, and producers of sound recordings, computer software, etc., build an ecosystem conducive to creativity, which convinces them to create more and boosts others to create without any fear of misuse.

Copyright Registration

Copyright registration will make you the legal owner or proprietor of your creative endeavour in respect of website, music, books, paintings, mobile application, etc. Copyright Registration with authority secures the original work of an author or any other creative person. No individual is authorised to use a similar work or piece without the approval of the creator or author. The author is certified to fine others for using their work or change it without the original author's consent. Copyright Registration guards the creator's rights against Copyright Infringement.
