Copyright is one among the branches of intellectual property, each country has created its law to protect copyright against copyright infringement but Internationally the World Intellectual Property Organizations (WIPO), The Agreement on Trade Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS) and Bern Convention set standards for protection of the rights of the intellectual creators, authors and writers for their intellectual creations of copyrighted works around the world.
The main goals of protecting copyright are to encourage creations and innovation, encourage the development of science and culture and provide financial benefit to copyright intellectual creators, authors and writers. The main challenges of copyright protection are lack of knowledge of copyright law and lack of advancement of new technology that can make copyright to be infringed. Copyright infringement can be protected by establishing policy that can maintain the area of copyright as well as the government should amend or repeal its law for the purpose of having effective protection of copyright through this digital age.
