Copyright is a legal right granted to the creator of an original work and includes literary, artistic, musical, dramatic, cinematographic and sound recordings, as well as software and architectural designs. It provides the creator of such work with exclusive rights to reproduce, distribute, perform and adapt their work.

The primary objective of copyright is to promote creativity by giving creators control over their work while ensuring that society benefits from their contributions. In India, copyright protection is governed by the Copyright Act, 1957, as amended over the years. The Copyright Act, 1957, protects various forms of creative expression, ensuring that creators receive recognition and financial benefits from their work.
