When some people hear the word "copyright", they think of a complicated legal term that doesn't apply to them. In fact, copyrights touch us all. Simply put, copyrights protect creativity. They do this by giving whoever creates an original work exclusive control over how that work is used and distributed. There are many resources to explore regarding copyright and its effect on the law, the industry and you.

Whoever owns the copyright is free to use the work in anyway they like. They can give away or sell their rights, change the content, and enter into agreements that allow for the work’s sale, distribution and screening.
