Creators of ‘literary’, ‘musical’, ‘dramatic’, and ‘artistic’ works and ‘producers’ of films or movies and music voice recordings can also file the rights over their original work by filing legal copyright license on their works and efforts. Copyright filing protects the original work from unapproved usage and therefore keeps and rewards creativeness.
