The creator, or the owner of the copyright in a work, can enforce rights administratively12 and in the courts, by inspection of premises13 for evidence of production or possession of illegally made – “pirated” goods related to protected works. The owner may obtain court orders to stop such activities, as well as seek damages for loss of financial rewards and recognition. Are ideas, methods or concepts protected by copyright? Copyright protection extends only to expressions and not to ideas, procedures, methods of operation, or mathematical concepts as such.? This principle has been confirmed by the Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS Agreement) 14 of the World Trade Organization (WTO) as well as the WIPO Copyright Treaty15. What are rights related to copyright? A field of rights related to copyright has rapidly developed over the last 50 years. These related rights grew up around copyrighted works, and provide similar, although often more limited and of shorter duration, rights to: performing artists (such as actors and musicians) in their performances; producers of sound recordings (for example, cassette recordings and compact discs) in their recordings; broadcasting organizations in their radio and television programs. Why protect copyright? Copyright and its related rights are essential to human creativity, by giving creators incentives in the form of recognition and fair economic rewards. Under this system of rights, creators are assured that their works can be disseminated without fear of unauthorized copying or piracy. This in turn helps increase access to and enhances the enjoyment of culture, knowledge, and entertainment all over the world. 12. administratively adv. 行政地 13. premises n. 前提 14.
