Copyright is a form of protection provided by the law to the authors of original works of authorship including literary, dramatic, musical, artistic, and certain other intellectual works.

Copyright protection arises automatically once an original work of authorship is fixed in a tangible medium of expression, now known or later developed; e.g., written, filmed, recorded. It does not require that a copyright notice be placed on the work, that the work be published, or that the work be deposited or registered with the Official Copyright Office.

Digital Media Rights Registration can make it easier to prove a claim, speed up decisions and reduce legal costs in future plagiarism or infringement disputes.
