Symbolized by © (circled C), copyright can apply to a range of intellectual, creative or artistic works. The circled P refers to the copyrighting of sound recordings. A copyright grants the applicant the exclusive right to make and control the distribution of copies of musical, literary, dramatic, pictorial and other works. The copyright exists for a stated period, which is usually until 70 years after the death of the surviving author of the work. Copyright also gives the holder the right to receive credit for his copyrighted work and to decide who may adapt, perform and financially benefit from the work.
