explain why it's important to follow copyright laws
user
it is important to follow copyright laws because they protect the rights of creators and authors. copyright laws give exclusive rights to those who create or own original works to control how those works are used and distributed. this protection ensures that creators are given due credit for their work and are financially rewarded for their efforts. without copyright laws, creators would be unable to control or monetize their work, resulting in a lack of incentive for creativity and innovation.
