What is copyright?
Copyright is a form of protection provided to the authors of “original works” and includes such things as literary, dramatic, musical, artistic, and certain other intellectual creations, both published and unpublished. Copyright does not protect ideas. It only protects the specific and original expression of the idea. A good example of this is that there are many films and books based on the classic boy meets girl theme in which the girl’s parents disapprove of boy and after many tears, true love finally triumphs. This theme cannot be monopolised, but original works to it can be. The same can be said of all other works.

Why is it important?
It is important as it protects authors rights in order to keep their own work private, and to provide them with all the benefits which they should get with their piece of work.
Due to getting an agreement with the artist of the track for my music video, there is no copyright struggle caused for me and my group.
