If you're creating materials, copyright protects your rights to your intellectual property.
If you're using materials, copyright limits what you can do with them.
Copyright is a protection that covers published and unpublished literary, scientific and artistic works, whatever the form of expression, provided such works are fixed in a tangible or material form. This means that if you can see it, hear it and/or touch it - it may be protected. If it is an essay, if it is a play, if it is a song, if it is a funky original dance move, if it is a photograph or a computer graphic that can be set on paper, recorded on tape or saved to a hard drive, it may be protected.

Patents and copyrights protect a person's works and ideas. Copyrights basically are a claim on the idea/work you have created, so long as it hasn't been taken.
