Q: What is a Copyright and how does it apply to the forum?

A: Websters Dictionary Definition of a Copyright:

The exclusive right to make copies, license, and otherwise exploit a literary, musical, or artistic work, whether printed, audio, video, etc.: works granted such right by law on or after January 1, 1978, are protected for the lifetime of the author or creator and for a period of 50 years after his or her death.

Copyrights apply to written work, artwork, photographs and more.
