What is copyright and why is it important for creators?

Copyright is a legal right that grants creators of original works—such as music, literature, art, and films—the exclusive authority to use, distribute, and monetize their creations. It protects intellectual property from unauthorized use, ensuring that the creator receives recognition and potential financial benefits. For musicians and artists, copyright safeguards their work from being copied, reproduced, or distributed without consent. A3Tunes emphasizes the importance of copyright to help artists secure their rights, maximize earnings, and maintain control over how their content is used in the digital and physical world.
