The concept behind copyright is that the creators of literary and artistic works have rights of ownership in their works, and, further, that those rights should be afforded legal protection in order to prevent unauthorized appropriation. As the Universal Declaration of Human Rights says, ‘Everyone has the right to the protection of the moral and material interests resulting from any scientific, literary or artistic production of which he is the author’. It does not matter whether he works in a developed or a developing country: he needs such protection because without it he is in danger of losing his livelihood.
