A type of intellectual property law known as network copyright safeguards the rights of authors and other parties who possess copyrighted works and disseminate those works electronically over networks. This encompasses the online distribution of audio, visual, and other digital content. Network copyright enables individuals to exchange works protected by copyright without worrying about violating the rights of others.

Network Copyright is an official term used to describe ownership of the rights to use and appropriate particular creative works, such as books, videos, films, melodies, and computer programs. Generally speaking, intellectual property law has been mandated to adjust societies' desires to use and reuse inventive works, thereby putting "subordinate work" against the rights of creators of craftsmanship, writing, music, and other forms of art to adapt their works by limiting who is allowed to produce and sell copies of them. To achieve some level of harmony, the selectiveness of control is frequently restricted for a predetermined number of years, after which a copyright-secured work is once again available in the public domain and may be freely used.
