Copyright is the term given to exclusive rights exercised by the owner of an original piece to copy, distribute and adapt the work. The copyright phenomenon is not new to the world but the extent to which it is being exercised is questionable. There are some countries such as Pakistan where the copyright is still a fledgling idea.
The world over, various industries are struggling with the role of copyright and continue to question the success or failure of it. Music industry faces this predicament, with the influx of online medium increasing the growth and reach of music content through various free websites – hence completely killing the purpose of the copyright.
There is a relatively new field that has been inducted into the copyright realm, that of the intellectual property copyright. The aim of this law is to protect the rights of a thought or an idea that somebody came up with and may not have turned into a tangible product or document to be categorized into another copyright head.
