Copyright is a legal right given to authors or creators of original works including literature, music, paintings, films and photos in order to control uses of their works.
Authors or copyright holders have certain excusive rights to protect their works.
"To control uses of work" means that a copyright holder retains the rights to copy, modify or transfer their own works.
