Music Copyrights

What is copyright?

Copyright protects the expression of an idea by conferring exclusive rights on the owner; it encourages people to 'create'. When someone creates a piece of music (or a piece of text, a graphic, a photo, a film or anything else that is protected under copyright), there is a whole system of rights and obligations that come into play. These rights and obligations outline what someone can and can't do with the material. Copyright is an important set of rights granted to the creator of creative works which gives them the exclusive right to copy, distribute, adapt, perform or broadcast the work in public. Copyright “owners” can also license or permanently transfer or assign their exclusive rights to others.
