Copyright
A copyright is a collection of rights that automatically vest to someone who creates an original work of authorship like a literary work, song, movie or software. These rights include the right to reproduce the work, to prepare derivative works, to distribute copies, and to perform and display the work publicly.
Patent
A patent is a type of intellectual property that gives its owner the legal right to exclude others from making, using, or selling an invention for a limited period of years, in exchange for publishing an enabling public disclosure of the invention.
Trademark
The term trademark refers to a recognizable insignia, phrase, word, or symbol that denotes a specific product and legally differentiates it from all other products of its kind. A trademark exclusively identifies a product as belonging to a specific company and recognizes the company's ownership of the brand.

Someone can copy your music from social media or YouTube and it as their own – if you can't prove that you are the original writer.
If you copyright your song first (before displaying to the public), someone must get approval from you before they use it.
Copyright law allows the creator to get paid when someone uses their work!
If someone views your [unprotected] drawings, steals them, trademarks and/or copyright it; you can’t do much to get them back!
