copyright act
Creative work protection
A copyright act is legislation that establishes and governs copyright law within a jurisdiction—defining what can be protected, how long protection lasts, and what constitutes infringement.
The term often refers to a specific statute: the U.S.
Copyright Act of 1976, the UK Copyright Act of 1911, or similar foundational laws.
The copyright act was amended to address digital piracy.
