Copyright
Copyright is an intellectual property that protects original creative works. It is important because it protects the interests of those who create and those who invest in creativity. If there were no copyright, it would be impossible for people to make a living from their creativity. No one would invest in a film, produce a record or publish a book, because there would be no way of earning a return on that investment.
