Berne Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works

The Berne Convention is like a big group of grown-ups who have decided to make rules to protect the things that people create with their minds, like books, songs, art, and movies.

They want to make sure that no one copies or uses those things without permission from the person who made them. It's kind of like asking the person who made a cake if you can have a piece instead of just taking it without asking.

This means that if someone writes a book or creates a piece of art, they have the right to decide if other people can use it or not. They can say "yes" or "no", and no one else can decide for them.

By following the rules of the Berne Convention, everyone agrees to respect each other's creations and gives them the credit and protection that they deserve. It's like being a good friend and treating others how you want to be treated!
