| In general, copyright is a form of legal protection given to content creators through the assignment of specific rights to works that qualify for protection. |
||
| One of the basic principles of the Berne Convention is that of “automatic protection”, which means that copyright protection exists automatically from the time a qualifying work is fixed in a tangible medium (such as paper, film or a silicon chip). |
