Introduction
The foundation of copyright protection is providing creators
exclusive rights to their works. This exclusive right of the
creator motivates them to devote their time and skills in
developing new ideas and creative works. Copyright protection
grants control to the creator of an artistic work over the use and
commercial exploitation of their works. They are vested with the
freedom to reproduce, distribute, display, and perform their
original works.
However, with the advent of online piracy in the digital
landscape it has become easier to reproduce and distribute
copyrighted works without the prior approval of the original
creator. This poses a challenge onto the original creator to combat
the unapproved duplication and distribution of its content.
