Copyright refers to the set of exclusive rights of an author or artist regarding reproducing, distributing, displaying, performing or modifying their works, among other rights, as well as a set of additional legal restrictions on others under the copyright laws.

In most countries, copyright is instantly and automatically owned by anyone who puts any creative work of authorship into a tangible form, whether it is pencil on paper, lines in the sand, sounds on an audio tape recorder, or bits stored in computer memory.

There are a few statutory limitations on enforcing these rights, such as the "fair use" of limited portions of a copyrighted work for permitted purposes.
