Copyright is the way of protecting the physical expression of ideas. When the idea is expressed in the physical form, such as piece of writing, music, photo, film, web page, etc, it's protected by a copyright. Protection is received automatically so the owner doesn't need to claim for a copyright. It is normally owned by the creator of the work, e.g. an author, composer, artist, photographer etc. If the work is created in the course of a person's employment, then the copyright holder is usually the employer. Copyright holder(s) may grant permission or license anyone else to do these things, without affecting their ownership of the actual copyright in their work, e.g. an author may permit a television adaptation of their book to be made and broadcast - the copyright in the original book remains with the author and they may grant other such rights to other people.
