Copyright
Copyright is a legal protection afforded to original works of authorship. It safeguards the unique expression of an idea, such as the particular creative form or arrangement of a video or musical composition. However, it's important to note that copyright does not extend to safeguarding underlying ideas or factual information.
It's important to note that copyright protection covers original expressions, not ideas, procedures, operational methods, or mathematical concepts. For example, someone may have copyright protection for a particular video, but that protection does not extend to the storyline or themes depicted in the video.
In many cases, registering a work is not a mandatory step to secure copyright protection. However, registering can be advantageous, especially in jurisdictions where it might streamline dispute resolution processes.
