Copyright is the right to own ones work, this is shown using the © symbol. There are multiple different types of copyright and ownership laws, the first being the obvious copyright that we know of. this copyright allows for complete control of ones property and creations. These creations can be anything but overall ownership and authorship of these properties (intellectual properties) belongs to the maker in the independent market, or amongst studios and companies it belongs to the commissioning party/corporation. as animators and creators we need to consider copyright in respect of ourselves and of the work of other people. Unless for educational purposes copyright infringement covers copying to tweaking as well as renting and lending, so these factors have to be considered and permission has to be asked of the owner before use in commercial work.
Copyleft is similar to copyright in the sense that the author must be credited but further tweaking or usage can be done without the prior party permission, so it has been put out into the public domain for fair use across all mediums. Similarly creative commons is another version where one can legally share remix and reuse other work but with more specifications such as the work not being used for commercial advertisement or for earning money.
