April 23, 2025 is World Book Day, an emblematic date that seeks to promote reading, writing and access to culture. However, behind this celebration there is a fundamental issue that deserves to be highlighted: copyrights.
Copyrights are those that protect the Intellectual Property of the creators of literary, artistic and musical works, among others. These rights ensure that authors receive fair compensation for their work and that they can control how their work is used.
The relationship between World Book Day and Copyright is close. The celebration of books seeks to promote the habit of reading and the creation of new works through writing, but without copyright protection, many authors would not be able to make a living from their work. Piracy and lack of Copyright Protection can discourage the creation of new works and harm authors who depend on their work for a living.
In this regard, it is essential that copyrights are respected and protected. Authors must receive fair compensation for their work, publishers and distributors must ensure that works are published and distributed legally.
On World Book Day, it is important to remember the importance of Copyrights and its role in promoting creativity and culture. By respecting and protecting these rights, we can ensure that authors continue to create works that inspire, educate and entertain us.
Summarizing, World Book Day and Copyrights are closely linked. The Protection of Copyrights is fundamental to promote creativity and culture, and it is important to respect and protect them in order to ensure that authors continue to create works that enrich us.
