When you create something, you want to make sure that it is protected and that no one else is able to take over and say that it belongs to them. In the United States, this means that you will need to get a copyright on the product and then no one else is able to take it over. But what is copyright and why is it important?

Copyright is going to be the legal right of the owner of any intellectual property. This can sound complicated, but it is usually the right to copy something. The original creators of a product and anyone they authorize are the only ones who will be able to reproduce the work. No one else will be able to call it their own, make extra copies of the book, or even sell it for movie rights or for something else without your permission. The person who created it in the first place will be able to make decisions about the work.

The copyright laws found in the United States are going to give the creators of all original material exclusive rights to use and duplicate the material for a certain amount of time. It is usually for a very long time, like the life of the person and longer. But once the copyright expires, then that material becomes part of the public domain, which means that anyone is able to use it and make some changes to the work.

Copyright can be used for a lot of different types of content. Some of these include:

# Novels, no matter how long or short they are.

# Art

# Poetry

# Content put on a website

# Original architectural designs

# Film

# Graphic design

# Computer software

# Musical compositions and lyrics

There are some exceptions to this as well. If you are hired by a company to create something, then they are paying for the work and it will belong to them, even though you were the one to create it. You need to make sure that you have an agreement in place to help out with that.
