Whats a copyright ?

Copyright is a legal concept that gives the author or creator of an original work the exclusive right to do certain things with that original work, as you can see here  with Lex photography.(  Alexander Ruiz).
Copyright protection is principally given to literary, dramatic, artistic and musical works, cinematograph film, and television and sound broadcasts.
Copyright gives the owner the exclusive right to copy, publish, communicate (e.g. broadcast, make available online), publicly perform, and adapt the work. These rights are considered to be “economic rights” because they have value and the copyright owner can sell or license the rights to others for a fee.
In most jurisdictions, copyright creators also have a number of “non-economic rights”. These are known as moral rights, and typically include the right to be attributed as the author of their work, the right not to have authorship falsely attributed, and the right to prevent derogatory treatment of their work that is prejudicial to their honour or reputation.  ~ EYESONTHEPRIZE
