Copyright law affects what I can do with creative works I encounter. I went to a concert last night, and the law prevented me from recording it and posting it to YouTube. I read an interesting blog post, and I emailed a link to someone instead of copying and pasting the content itself. I sent just someone to the rightsholder of some rare materials I am in possession of, to get permission to have a copy made.

On the other hand, if I were the creator of those works, copyright would affect me differently. If I were the band playing that concert, I would be able to license my recordings. If I were the blogger, I could authorize others to use my words, or not. If I were the rightsholder of the materials, I could charge a fee to allow a copy to be made.
