What is Copyright?
From Google:
Copyright is a form of protection provided for original works of authorship, including literary, dramatic, musical, graphic and audiovisual creations. “Copyright” literally means the right to copy, but has come to mean that body of exclusive rights granted by law to copyright owners for protection of their work.
NOTE (per Felicia @ Geeky Bloggers Book Blog and endorsed by Meredith @ Pandora’s Books): I believe all bloggers should have a republication policy so feel free to copy this one! This permission is granted and encouraged. Let’s take back our content and make it safe!
