No that's not what copyrights are. The idea that they're "author rights" has no basis in law

Why insist to argue this point when a simple visit to Wikipedia will show I'm right?

You are mistaken and don't seen to fullt grasp what copyright is.

A copyright is a type of intellectual property that gives its owner the exclusive right to copy, distribute, adapt, display, and perform a creative work, usually for a limited time.[1][2][3][4][5] The creative work may be in a literary, artistic, educational, or musical form.

Notice what is states besides copying? First paragraph on wikipedia, come on.
