It is important to protect people's works so that the creators of the work earn money and recognition for it. Protection of work allows creators to control who can use their work and in what ways it will be use. They also decide how much it will cost users to access. If work was not protected, artists and producers would receive no money from their works, and therefore would not continue to publish.
 * Why is it important to protect these things?**

Sometimes creators allow others to 'sample' their music, allowing others to have permission to use a small snippet of their work. The video below talks about sampling and copyright in the music industry.
