Frequently Asked Questions
Books (traditional or digital), scripts, music, pictures, videos, source codes for software, manuals/guidebooks, university journals, and other kinds of creative works or materials have special intangible rights attached to them. These rights, known as “copyrights”, are owned by the people who create the work – authors, producers, photographers, musicians, songwriters, artists and such – who can choose to do anything and everything they wish with their exclusive rights.
Copyright protects the expression of the author’s artistic and literary works and is also related to the exclusive right to prepare derivative works and to perform and display the work. Subject to the provisions of the Copyright Act 1987, artistic, literary and musical works, films, sounds recordings and broadcasts are eligible for copyright protection.
The only criteria for a creative work to be eligible for copyright is that there must have been sufficient effort applied or put into the work to make the work original and the work must be reduced to material form (so the work can be “seen” or “heard” by others). Works are eligible for copyright regardless of the quality of the work and the purpose for which they were created.
The owners of copyrights have the right to prevent other parties from reproducing their work or any substantial parts of their work in any material form, unless authorized by them. As the translation, adaptation and transformation of their work and applications thereof can also be prevented, owners of copyright essentially have broad rights to their pieces of work and these rights can be exploited in many profitable ways.
Copyright terms differ from country to country. In Singapore, US and the EU countries for instance, copyright lasts for the life of the author plus 70 years.
Copyright in Malaysia is slightly different. In Malaysia, copyright in literary, musical and artistic works subsists during the life of the creator and continues 50 years after his/her death. This means that the estate of the deceased author, artist or designer can benefit from the copyright for a further 50 years.
