What was the meaning of copyright protection? How important was copyright protection?The meaning of copyright protection was that copyright was an original right, including the right to create, adapt, translate, and distribute literary works, music, movies, television dramas, photographic works of art, and so on.

The protection of copyrights was very important to creators. Through copyrights, creators could protect their creativity and intellectual property rights and obtain economic compensation and returns. In addition, the protection of copyright also helps to promote innovation and development in the fields of literature, art and science, encouraging people to create excellent works and maintaining social harmony and stability.

For example, the copyright protection period in China was 120 years for the author's lifetime and 50 years after his death, while the copyright protection period in the United States was 175 years for the author's lifetime and 40 years after his death.
During the extended period, the copyright owners still retained the copyright of their works unless they voluntarily gave up the rights.

The duration of copyright protection was determined according to the specific circumstances of the work. According to the copyright law, the term of copyright protection for film works and works created by similar methods shall be calculated from the date of creation; music, drama, opera, folk art and other performance works shall be calculated from the date of performance. For literary works, according to the provisions of the first paragraph of article 10 of the copyright law, copyright includes all the rights stipulated by the copyright law and the copyright sharing law, including the right to publish, the right to sign, the right to modify, the right to protect the integrity of the work, the right to translate, the right to compile, the right to adapt, etc. Therefore, the duration of protection needed to be determined according to the specific circumstances of the work.
