Creative artists around the world have one thing in common to do, which is protect their rights on what they have produced, be it a song, a poem, a software application, painting, audio visual presentation, play, televisions drama etc.
No one can reproduce the work and make money from it, without their prior permission. However in order to establish their copyright on what they have created, it is advisable to have it registered.
Why Is Copyright So Important For Your Creative Work?
It is important to register a copyright for your creative work because only then can you solely gain from it. Any income generated from production and distribution of the work will come to you alone. Without copyright registration, the work can be copied by someone else and they can enjoy monetary gains from it.
Copyright registration also gives you absolute authority to convert the work into any other language. Furthermore, it gives only you the right to convert it into another medium. For example if you have written a novel, your permission has to be sought to convert it into a movie or a short video, otherwise only you can do this conversion. You can make a public exhibition of the work and can transform it into a musical, dramatic or literary form only if you have registered a copyright over it.
