3.  The copyright law was first instituted by the Australian Government in 1968. It is now contained in the Commonwealth and is known as Copyright Act 1968.  Copyright is a law that gives rights to creative works such as art, music, literature, texts, sound, videos and programs.  The copyright owner gains the right to control who has permission to use their material. They have control over its reproduction and distribution.  The right of copyright material can be sold to other people.  Copyright doesn’t protect peoples ideas, patents, concepts, techniques, etc. Intellectual Property is a law which protects these types of documents.  In Australia the copyright protection is automatic and doesn’t require official registration.
