What is the basic meaning of copyright

CYBER BUSINESS GROUP           Posted by: Adam Barish

Copyright is a legal right created by the law of a country that grants the creator of an original work exclusive rights for its use and distribution. This is usually only for a limited time. The exclusive rights are not absolute but limited by limitations and expectations to copyright law, including fair use.

Copyright is a form of intellectual property, applicable to certain forms of creative work. Under US copyright law, legal protection attaches only to fixedrepresentations in a tangible medium. It is often shared among multiple authors, each of whom holds a set of rights to use or license the work, and who are commonly referred to as right shareholders. These rights frequently include reproduction, control over derivative work, distribution, public performance, and "moral rights" such as attribution.

Copyrights are considered territorialrights, which means that they do not extend beyond the territory of a specific jurisdiction. While many aspects of national copyright laws have been standardized International copyright agreements, copyright laws vary by country. India’s Copyright Act, 1957 has been significantly amended. In May 2012, both houses of the Indian Parliament unanimously placed their seal on the Copyright Amendment Bill, 2012, bringing Indian copyright law into compliance with the World Intellectual Property Organization “Internet 

 Treaties”.Typically, the duration of a copyright spans the author's life plus 50 to 100 years (that is, copyright typically expires 50 to 100 years after the author dies, depending on the jurisdiction). Some countries require certain copyright formalities to establishing copyright, but most recognize copyright in any completed work, without formal registration. Generally, copyright is enforced as a civil matter, though some jurisdictions do apply criminal sanctions.

Most jurisdictions recognize copyright limitations, allowing "fair" exceptions to the creator's exclusivity of copyright and giving users certain rights. The development of digital media and computer network technologies have prompted reinterpretation of these exceptions, introduced new difficulties in enforcing copyright, and inspired additional challenges to copyright law's philosophic basis. Simultaneously, businesses with great economic dependence upon copyright, such as those in the music business, have advocated the extension and expansion of copyright and sought additional legal and technological enforcement.

What should I look for in a Publishing Contract? By: Hilary Metz, Esq.

Publishing contracts means something different if you are an author versus a song writer. For a writer, being presented with their first potential book deal is one of the most exciting, stressful, and confusing times in their career. Too often writers get frustrated once the actual contract negotiation begins, and not until they have tried to negotiate on their own behalf do they then seek legal counsel. It is important that writers, and artists in general do not rush to sign however, as the impact of the first publishing deal can be long lasting, sometimes even once the term of that contract is over. Writers need to be cautious and think about several key negotiation points that will inevitably be in their contracts in some way, shape, or form, such as: 1. Who owns the copyrights? It is pertinent that the copyrights remain in your name. You attorney will discuss the time frames for making sure the work(s) are registered as it relates to the publication date. 2.

Should I sign a Work for Hire Agreement? By: Hilary Metz, Esq.

Understanding when you are producing work under a work for hire agreement or when you should be requiring someone to sign a work for hire agreement is essential to knowing what if any interests you have in the copyrights of work you create. For employees, generally, what you create is owned by your employer, not you. This is what is termed as “works made for hire”. Knowing some basics about work for hire agreements can also assist you in negotiating your employment conditions. It is possible that even if you create something in and during the course of your employment that you may be able to retain some rights to those works. Works that you create outside of your employment remain yours, not the employers. For example: if you work in the capacity of a writer, but after work and on the weekends are a painter you employer will not be able to claim any ownership in the copyrights of those paintings. For people working freelance, including, but not limited to: artists, painters, write
