You’ve got the right to forbid copycats 🐈
Copyright is one of the main types of intellectual property. The copyright owner will have the exclusive right to use the work (with some exceptions). This allows the copyright owner to protect against others copying or reproducing their work.
There are lots of different types of works – musical compositions, sound recordings, paintings, films, photos, architectural works and more.
