artists as well as those such as publishers that own rights, as it provides
them with a legal right of ownership of the work that they produce. In addition

piece of evidence to a friend and someone tries to copyright it, then the
person can retreat it back which means that they can gain it back. The law
gives the creators the right to control the ways in which their
material may be used.
