Copyright law of the United Kingdom

Copyright law of the United Kingdom is a set of laws that protect people’s ideas and creations. If a person has created something, like a painting, a video, a song, or a book, then they own the rights to it, and no one else can use it without their permission. This means that even if someone buys a painting, they don’t have the right to copy or reproduce it without the permission of the artist.
