Copyright is a type of intellectual property and a legal right that provides the author of an original work the rights to that work’s distribution and use.
The 1976 Copyright Act still acts as the guide to determine what categories of intellectual product can be protected under law (Herrington, 30). 
The exclusive rights that a copyright holder has include the right to make copies of the work and sell those copies, the right to create derivative works, the right to display the work, the right to import or export the work, and the right to sell or transfer the aforementioned rights to another person(s).
