What is copywritten?

Copywritten refers to any original work that has been legally protected by copyright law. This includes literary works, music, videos, artwork, software, and other creative works. The copyright owner has exclusive rights to reproduce, distribute, and display the work, as well as to create derivative works. The purpose of copyright protection is to encourage creators to continue producing original works and to allow them to profit from their creations. Anyone found to be infringing on copyright-protected material may be subject to legal action, including fines and possible imprisonment. It is important to respect the copyright laws and obtain permission before using someone else's work.
