WHAT IS COPYRIGHT?
Copyright is a type of intellectual property that gives its owner the exclusive right to copy and distribute a creative work, usually for a limited time. The creative work may be in a literary, artistic, educational, or musical form. Copyright is intended to protect the original expression of an idea in the form of a creative work, but not the idea itself. A copyright is subject to limitations based on public interest considerations.

WHY COPYRIGHT REQUIRED?
Copyright gives the right to the owner of a work to protect its work from other from using or copying the same work. It thus helps to maintain the original creation of the work. This will encourage the owner to create more work. The Copyright Act 1957 (as amended by the Copyright Amendment Act 2012) governs the subject of copyright law in India.
