Q. | Why do I even need to get permission? Once an idea has been produced in any tangible form, the owner of the work has the sole right to copy the work, or to allow others to copy it. The term “copyright” is the protection given to the person who has created such a work. The main goal of copyright registration is to encourage the creation of new intellectual and artistic works, and therefore it is important that the copyright laws be respected. |
