A copyright is a legal protection granted to the authors of “original works of authorship” that may include books, movies, songs, poetry, artistic creations, and computer software, among other categories. Copyrights created by an individual are protected for the life of the author plus 70 years. Copyright law in the United States was last generally revised by the Copyright Act of 1976 and codified in 17 U.S.C. The U.S. Copyright Office handles registration, recording, and transferring of copyrights, although an original work does not need to be registered to receive copyright protections.
