What is Copyright?

 

 

 

According to the United States Copyright office, "Copyright is a form

of protectionprovided by the laws of the United States to the authors

of original works of authorship, including literary, dramatic, musical, artistic,

and certain other intellectual works.

This protection is available to both published and unpublished works."

Fair Use

 

 

 

Section 107 of the US Copyright Law contains a list of the various purposes for which the reproduction of a particular work may be considered fair, such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research.

 

The four factors to be considered in determining fair use are:

 

 

1. The purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of
commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes
2. The nature of the copyrighted work
3. The amount and substantiality of the portion used in relationto the
copyrighted work as a whole
4. The effect of the use upon the potential market for, or value of, the copyrighted work.

Plagiarism

 

 

 

According to the Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary, to "plagiarize" means

  • to steal and pass off (the ideas or words of another) as one's own

  • to use (another's production) without crediting the source

  • to commit literary theft

  • to present as new and original an idea or product derived from an existing source.

 

 

 

According to www.plagiarism.org, the following are examples of plagiarism:

 

  • turning in someone else's work as your own
  • copying words or ideas from someone else without giving credit
  • failing to put a quotation in quotation marks
  • giving incorrect information about the source of a quotation
  • changing words but copying the sentence structure of a source without giving credit
  • copying so many words or ideas from a source that it makes up the majority of your work, whether you give credit or not (see our section on "fair use" rules)

Licensing and Software Piracy

 

 

 

 

According to Cornell University, software piracy is the unauthorized duplication, distribution or use of computer software -- for example, making more copies of software than the license allows, or installing software licensed for one computer onto multiple computers or a server.

 

Copying software is an act of copyright infringement, and is subject to civil and criminal penalties. It's illegal whether you use the copied software yourself, give it away, or sell it. And aiding piracy by providing unauthorized access to software or to serial numbers used to register software can also be illegal.
