What is the copyright? If I play music in public, is it infringement? Does publishing other people's articles count? Without the permission of others

Copyright is copyright, which refers to the rights (including property rights and personal rights) enjoyed by authors of literary, artistic and scientific works. Copyright is a kind of intellectual property, including natural science, social science, literature, music, drama, painting, sculpture, photography and film works.

Without the permission of the copyright owner, publicly playing music and publishing other people's articles, the former is not infringing, while the latter is suspected of infringing (not infringing 50 years after the author's death).

Acts of copyright infringement include:
