What are the subjects and objects of copyright protection?

The meaning of copyright protection was that copyright was an original right, including the right to create, adapt, translate, and distribute literary works, music, movies, television dramas, photographic works of art, and so on. This right is protected by the law. Unauthorized or unapproved acts of copyright will be punished. The protection of copyrights was very important to creators. Through copyrights, creators could protect their creativity and intellectual property rights and obtain economic compensation and returns. In addition, the protection of copyright also helps to promote innovation and development in the fields of literature, art and science, encouraging people to create excellent works and maintaining social harmony and stability. Protecting copyrights also helps to raise the public's awareness and protection of intellectual property, enhance people's respect and protection of intellectual property, promote the rational use and sharing of intellectual property, and promote social economic development and civilization progress.

The term of protection of a work's copyright was usually 20 years, but the copyright owner could extend the term of protection. The specific extension of the term of protection was the legal practice of various countries. For example, the copyright protection period in China was 120 years for the author's lifetime and 50 years after his death, while the copyright protection period in the United States was 175 years for the author's lifetime and 40 years after his death. During the extended period, the copyright owners still retained the copyright of their works unless they voluntarily gave up the rights. If the copyright owner does not give up his rights, his personal rights and property rights (such as the right to profit, adaptation rights, translation rights, etc.) are protected by the copyright law after the work is published.

There was a difference between the protection of copyright in the network environment and the protection of copyright on the Internet. Online copyright referred to the copyright enjoyed by literary works created on the Internet. In the traditional offline environment, once the copyright was published, it would automatically take effect. And in the network environment, they also enjoyed the copyright of the network. The scope of protection for online copyrights was similar to the offline environment. It also included the creative expression of literature, art, science, and other aspects of the work, as well as the rights to adapt, translate, perform, and display the work. However, there are also some unique protection mechanisms for online copyrights, such as the Internet copyright protection law, online copyright registration, etc. These mechanisms help to protect the legitimate rights and interests of online copyright owners. Online copyrights were not copyrights in the online environment. Online copyright is a type of copyright that is protected under the network environment. Online copyright had nothing to do with the internet environment, but with the copyright itself.

The copyright protection period was 20 years from the day the author created the work. However, according to the third paragraph of article 21 of the copyright law, the copyright owner can claim rights at the same time, that is, he can exercise the copyright or neighboring rights at the same time. The duration of copyright protection was determined according to the specific circumstances of the work. According to the copyright law, the term of copyright protection for film works and works created by similar methods shall be calculated from the date of creation; music, drama, opera, folk art and other performance works shall be calculated from the date of performance. For literary works, according to the provisions of the first paragraph of article 10 of the copyright law, copyright includes all the rights stipulated by the copyright law and the copyright sharing law, including the right to publish, the right to sign, the right to modify, the right to protect the integrity of the work, the right to translate, the right to compile, the right to adapt, etc. Therefore, the duration of protection needed to be determined according to the specific circumstances of the work.

The duration of copyright protection for a novel varies by country. In many places, it can last for the author's lifetime plus a certain number of years after their death.

The scope of online copyright protection includes: 1. The creativity and conception of the work itself are the elements of literature, art, design, etc. in the online work; 2. The forms of expression of the works are the text, pictures, audio, video, and other forms of creative results in the online works; 3. The rights of the work, namely the rights of the online copyright owner, include the right to copy, distribute, exhibit, perform, show, broadcast, and information network transmission. The scope of online copyright protection was the intellectual results of online works, including creativity and ideas, forms of expression and rights. These rights were all enjoyed by the online copyright owner according to law.

The copyright protection in the network environment meant that the copyright of a work in the computer network environment was enjoyed by the creator or the legal successor of the copyright without the need for copyright registration or other forms of proof in the physical world. In an online environment, copyright protection can be carried out in the following ways: 1. To spread a work through the Internet, you must comply with the relevant provisions of the copyright law and obtain the authorization of the copyright owner to spread it. 2. Using online trading platforms to sell works requires compliance with the relevant provisions of the copyright law and authorization from the copyright owner. 3. To use the Internet to provide services, you must comply with the relevant provisions of the copyright law and obtain the authorization of the copyright owner to provide services. 4. The adaptation, translation, and production of derivative works must comply with the relevant provisions of the copyright law and obtain the authorization of the copyright owner to carry out related activities. 5. To create literature in an online environment, one must abide by the relevant provisions of the copyright law and obtain the authorization of the copyright owner. The copyright protection in the network environment can better protect the rights and interests of creators and promote the development of network culture. At the same time, it also required the network platform and users to abide by the relevant regulations to jointly maintain the harmony and stability of the network environment.

No, the term of copyright protection was established in the early 1990s. The current term of protection is 20 years from the date of creation. However, according to article 34 of the copyright law, the author's personal rights, property rights, and other personal rights could be protected indefinitely. Therefore, even if the author did not exercise the copyright after the end of the copyright protection period, his personal rights and other personal rights could still continue to be protected.

The term "copyright" referred to the personal and property rights enjoyed by the author of the literary, artistic, and scientific works he had created. The term of copyright protection was the author's lifetime and fifty years after his death. If the author is alive, the copyright owner can extend the term of protection. The specific extension method is: every five years, every five years. The copyright includes the following rights: 1. Creation rights: refers to the exclusive rights of the author to his own works, including modification, adaptation, translation, compilation, interpretation, etc. 2. The right to publish: The author has the right to make his work public. 3. The right of signature: The author has the right to indicate his or her own name in the work. The right to protect the integrity of a work: refers to the right of the author to modify, delete, add, and adapt the work to maintain the original appearance of the work. 5. The right to display: The author has the right to display his work to the public. 6. Revenue rights: refers to the income obtained by the author due to the work, including royalties, performance income, adaptation rights income, etc. Other rights enjoyed by the copyright owner include: 1. Prohibiting others from violating copyright: It refers to the right of the copyright owner to prohibit others from violating his personal rights and property rights. 2. Right of translation: The copyright owner has the right to translate the work into multiple languages. 3. Right of compilation: refers to the right of the copyright owner to compile the works into a collective. 4. The right of information network transmission: refers to the right of the copyright owner to enjoy the information network transmission of the work. He can transmit the work to the public free of charge on his own information network. If the copyright owner violates the above-mentioned provisions and violates the copyright of others, it will constitute an intellectual property right violation.

The duration of copyright protection depends on the provisions of the copyright law. In China, the duration of copyright protection was calculated from the date of creation, which was September 10, 1982. The date of creation of a work is not regarded as the date of establishment of the copyright. The copyright owner can exercise his rights at will until his rights are exhausted or he dies. According to the copyright law, copyright includes the rights of the copyright owner and the copyright heir. After the death of the copyright owner, his heir could inherit the copyright but had to pay the corresponding inheritance tax. After the copyright protection period ends, the work will automatically lose its copyright, but the publishing house or performer to which the work belongs can still enjoy the relevant copyright protection. After the end of the copyright protection period, if the work is still legally original, the relevant rights and interests can continue to be protected through other means such as trademark rights, patent rights, trade secrets, etc.
