Advantages of copyright

Answer 1

Copyright protection prevents others from copying, altering, distributing, or performing/displaying your work without your permission. This enables you to generate more income from the work than you would be if it were not protected.

Copyright is a legal protection for authors, writers and other people who create a tangible medium such as books, music, pictures, moving images and all things similar.

It gives the author ownership of the work and the right to control who copies and publishes the work. An author can expect to be paid for the use of his work when it is copied or used in publications and it is the copyright laws that provide this for the author.
