Urheberrecht

A copyright is a legal right that gives creators exclusive control over copying, sharing, adapting, and performing their creative works—whether those works are books, art, music, or educational materials—typically for a set period of time. This protection is meant to safeguard the original expression of ideas rather than the ideas themselves, though it's balanced by rules like fair use that allow limited use of copyrighted material in the public interest.
