Today marks World Copyright Day, a global occasion dedicated to honoring books, writers, and the importance of intellectual property.
The day was officially established in 1995 by the General Assembly of UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) to be observed every year on April 23. The goal is to promote a culture of reading, show respect for authors and their work, and raise awareness about copyright laws that protect creative content and intellectual property.
World Copyright Day also holds historical importance in world literature. April 23 is the day two iconic literary figures-William Shakespeare and Inca Garcilaso de la Vega-passed away, adding a deeper cultural meaning to the occasion.
By celebrating this day, people around the world are reminded of the value of books, the rights of creators, and the need for responsible use of creative works in the digital age.
