Copyright

Copyright is a form of legal protection given to creators of original works, including books, music, films, software,
photography, and artistic works. In Malaysia, copyright is automatically granted once the work is created and expressed in a
tangible form. While registration is not mandatory, voluntary registration offers proof of ownership and makes it easier to
enforce your rights in court or licensing agreements.
