What is the scope of copyright protection?

Copyright law in Arizona provides protection for all "original works of authorship," which includes literary, dramatic, musical, artistic, and certain other intellectual works. This protection prevents unauthorized parties from reproducing, distributing, performing, displaying, or creating derivative works based on the protected material without the permission of the copyright holder. This scope of protection is broad and includes the right to control reproduction, display, distribution, translation, and digital transmission of original works. It also includes the exclusive right to make and sell copies of the work. Any of these activities, if performed by someone other than the copyright holder, are a violation of the copyright law. Copyright protection also extends to works that are not registered with the United States Copyright Office, although registration is recommended. Additionally, the scope of protection is exclusive and is only provided to the copyright holder; it cannot be transferred to another person without permission. In Arizona, copyright protection lasts for the life of the author, and for an additional seventy years after their death. Ultimately, copyright law is intended to protect the intellectual rights of creators and authors by preventing others from using their material without permission. The scope of protection provided by Arizona’s copyright laws is broad and ensures that creators can benefit from their work without fear of infringement.
