Copyright is a type of property that is found on a person’s creative skill. Designed to prevent unauthorised use of work by others that is in an original form of the idea or information expressed by the creator. The rights include the right to copy, publish, communicate and publicly perform the copyright material. (Australian Government, 2008)

Copyright also protects the original expression of ideas. It is free and automatically safeguards your original works or art and literature, music, films, sound, recording, broadcasts and computer programs. Copyright protection is provided under the Copyright Act 1968 and gives rights to license others in regard to copying work, performing it in public or broadcasting the work.
