Copyrights are the rights of authors in their works, such as written or graphic works, plays, music, and so forth. Federal registration of copyrights is done through the Library of Congress. Although an author has a copyright in a work from the moment it is created, federal registration provides increased benefits to the copyright owner, including the right to seek statutory damages for infringement.
