What is copyright?

Copyright is copyright, which refers to the rights (including property rights and personal rights) enjoyed by authors of literary, artistic and scientific works. There are two ways to obtain copyright: automatic acquisition and registration acquisition. In China, according to the copyright law, works automatically enjoy copyright after completion. The so-called completion is relative, as long as the object of creation has met the statutory conditions for the composition of the work, it can be protected by copyright law as a work. Its function is: 1, which can help copyright owners and related rights holders to effectively exercise their rights and provide security. 2. Copyright is an intangible right, which is also embodied by tangible things, including moral rights and property rights. Therefore, copyright is also a human right and a kind of property. Infringing others' copyright is like stealing others' money. Piracy is as contemptible as theft. Protecting intellectual property rights is not only to protect the personal interests of copyright owners, but also to safeguard public interests, national interests, national economic order and social development.
