「copyright」是法律給創作者的一種「獨家權利」：在一段時間內，只有作者或他授權的人可以複製、販賣、使用這個作品。可以想成「這是我創作的，沒經過我同意別人不能拿去印或賣」。台灣正式的法律用語是「著作權」，日常口語也常說「版權」。

You can picture copyright as an invisible fence the law puts around something a person made — a book, a song, a film, a picture. Inside that fence, only the maker gets to copy it or sell it; everyone else has to ask. The fence stands for a set number of years, then comes down.
