∙ 11y agoCopyright 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.
Copyright is part of law in almost all countries and is automatically assigned to the author of a work. 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.
Copyright is a simple principle but it is complicated by the vast number of details that surround it. There are many textbooks and essays that offer further detail on how copyright is implemented in different countries and between countries.

Do you have to use a copyright symbol?
It depends on when the work was created. For works created before 1989, it may be required; the courts have not ruled as to whether a copyright notice is required on works first created before the U.S. became part of the Berne Union. For works created after 1988 the answer is simple. No. A copyright symbol has not been necessary in the US since 1989. There are advantages to putting the copyright symbol or copyright notice on a work even if not required, including eliminating the "innocent infringer" defense.
