✶ info:

  Who owns this -- usually the author. 
  Depending on the property, maybe it should be a human, not an entity, 
  as the entity (such as Tibet Sun!) may pass on to someone else.

  Copyright is a legal right, existing in many countries, that grants
  the creator of an original work exclusive rights to determine
  whether, and under what conditions, this original work may be
  used by others.
    -- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copyright

  Varies by country:
  Typically, the public law duration of a copyright expires 50 to 100
  years after the creator dies, depending on the jurisdiction. Some
  countries require certain copyright formalities to establishing
  copyright, others recognize copyright in any completed work,
  without formal registration. Generally, copyright is enforced
  as a civil matter, though some jurisdictions do apply criminal
  sanctions.
    -- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copyright

  A copyright is a form of protection provided by the laws of the
  United States to authors of "original works of authorship." This
  includes literary, dramatic, musical, artistic and certain other
  creative works.

  Use of the notice informs the public that a work is protected
  by copyright, identifies the copyright owner, and shows the year
  of first publication.

  The purpose of copyright law is to promote the progress of useful
  arts and science by protecting the exclusive right of authors
  and inventors to benefit from their works of authorship.

  How long does copyright last? [for the US]
  As a general rule, for works created after January 1, 1978,
  copyright protection lasts for the life of the author plus an
  additional 70 years.
    -- https://www.copyright.gov/help/faq/faq-duration.html

  You have copyright on any creative work you document in "fixed"
  form. ... You register copyright to reserve the right to sue for
  damages when your rights are infringed. It costs $35 to register
  a copyright for each item, kinda.

    the digital era.
