Copyright law protects the rights of creators of intellectual property in the form of creative literary works, music and lyrics, motion pictures, graphics and pictorial works, art, photos, architecture and sound recordings.

Those rights include the exclusive right to make and distribute copies, publish, make derivative works, and to publicly perform or display the works, with some limitations.

The term "perform" includes "in the case of sound recordings, to perform the copyrighted work publicly by means of a digital audio transmission".

Most copyrights are enforced by civil lawsuits although some copyright infringement may be handled by the FBI as federal crimes.
