It gives the creator or authorthe right to reproduce their work, gear up for other works, create copies of the work for profit and the profit goes to you only, perform the work publicly, and display your protected work publicly without anybody taking the idea.
 Original works are protected under the constitution of the U.S. and also granted by the law. The works of authorship are fixed in a binding medium of expression. Both published and unpublished work are both protected by copyright. Copyright protects any kind of work created and fixed in a binding form that is perceptible either directly or with the aid of a machine, device, or written material. For any material to be fully protected by copyright you must have the copyright symbol, your name, and the year when it was created. The instant the registration for copyright is on your work then it is instantly protected. Copyright does not protect ideas, concepts, facts, or techniques. It only protects the work from the idea.
For anyone who wants to use your work for their own personal or presentable use, they have purchase the rights for your work and they cannot do the near same work as the one as yours. They can still use your work but it has to be used for some other work and not the exact same as yours.
