Anti-PiracyWhat is copyright?
Copyright is a protection granted to the author of an original work which governs virtually every aspect of that work to include distribution, duplication, alteration, use and sale.How does that affect me?
Copyrights affect us in many aspects of our daily lives. The music you listen to, the movies and television programs you watch, the computer programs you use, the art you observe, the books you read, the papers you write – all of these have a copyright and should be handled accordingly.Okay, so what do I do?
Copyright, like most things that fall in the realm of law, is not always a clear path. That doesn't mean that there are no answers, just that the answers are not always easy or clear cut. In short, treat all works as you would want someone else to treat works that you create.Here are some more useful and informative resources pertaining to copyright:
