-A '''{{wp|copyright}}''' is a type of intellectual property that gives its owner the exclusive legal right to copy, distribute, adapt, display, and perform a creative work, usually for a limited time. The creative work may be in a literary, artistic, educational, or musical form. Copyright is intended to protect the original expression of an idea in the form of a creative work, but not the idea itself. A copyright is subject to limitations based on public interest considerations, such as the fair use doctrine in the United States and fair dealings doctrine in the United Kingdom.
+'''{{wp|Copyright}}''' ([https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Copyright&date-range-to=2008-09-19&tagfilter=&action=history history]) is a legal concept, enacted by governments, giving the creator of an original work of authorship [[exclusive right]]s to it, usually for a limited time, after which the work enters the [[public domain]]. Generally, it is "the right to copy", but usually provides the author with other rights as well, such as the right to be credited for the work, to determine who may adapt the work to other forms, who may perform the work, who may financially benefit from it, and other, related rights.
