Businesses interact with copyrighted material every day, sometimes without appreciating the importance of compliance with the U.S. Copyright Act. Copyrights relate to protection in creative works such as books, paintings, photography, films, videos, music, computer software and architectural works. A registered copyright provides the owner with the right to reproduce, copy, distribute, adapt, perform or display that material, as well as to prevent others from using it in those ways.
