Copyright is the legal right that creators are entitled to for their literary, drama, musical, and artistic works. Producers of films and recordings also enjoy this right. When an owner registers for copyright, it gives them the exclusive right to reproduce, replicate and distribute the work. In addition, they may confer rights on any other entity for the same purpose.

Registering for copyright is important because it makes you the legal owner of the rights to the work. You then have control over its access to the public, reproduction rights, and any adaptations or translations of the works.

Both published and unpublished works can be copyrighted, and the copyright of the original work is reserved for the original creator. Copyright can also be registered for works that were published before 21st January 1958, i.e. before the Copyright Act came into existence.

Copyright protection of original literary, musical, dramatic, and artistic works lasts for the entire lifetime of the author and for 60 years from the year following the author's death. For cinematograph films, sound recordings, photographs, posthumous publications, anonymous and pseudonymous publications, works of government, and works of international organizations, 60 years are counted from the date of publication.
