Copyright is copyright, which refers to the rights enjoyed by the authors of literary, artistic and scientific works. Copyright is a kind of intellectual property, including natural science, social science and works of literature, music, drama, painting, sculpture, photography, pictures and movies.
With the progress of science and technology, the intellectual property protection system is constantly developing and improving. Copyright protection can not only promote the development of cultural undertakings, but also the copyright industry has become the driving force of economic development.
Theoretically, both e-books and paper books, as works, are protected by copyright law, and there is no difference between them. However, China's existing laws are far less than traditional publications (such as paper books), and network infringement can be seen everywhere, but it is more difficult to protect.
The right contained in electronic copyright is copyright. It is clearly stipulated in China's current laws that works automatically have copyright when they are completed, and electronic copyright is a way of evidence definition and preservation to prove when and who created the works. Like the registration of works, it has the support and legal effect of national laws. Just because the carrier is different, there is a big difference. The biggest difference between the two is that after buying a paper book, you can get full ownership of the paper book, lend it to your friends or sell it again, but the e-book may only get the right to use it, but it can't be cracked or given to others.
