The right of an author or his assignee, under statute, to print and publish his literary or artistic work, exclusively of all other persons. This right may be had in maps, charts, engravings, plays, and musical compositions, as well as in books.
There is such a thing as fair use of the materials. One has to be careful how much one uses of material under copyright. There can always be a lawsuit.
