In class we discuss what is copyright, what can be copyrighted and what can’t be copyrighted. We also discussed how it was applied to a variety of industries i.e. Film, Music and Photography discussing how they dealt with file sharing and piracy.
Copyright is the ownership of an intellectual property within the limits prescribed by a particular nation's or international law. In the United States, for example, the copyright law provides that the owner of a property has the exclusive right to print, distribute, and copy the work, and permission must be obtained by anyone else to reuse the work in these ways. Copyright is provided automatically to the author of any original work covered by the law as soon as the work is created. Search Security (Anon, 2000).
My own definition of copyright is the concept of legally created and finalized by the government. This enables the creator of the original work all the rights to it. This agreement is only for a limited duration of time, usually it’s the right to control copies of the original work. The right to be credited is also is given to the creator of thee work as well. To deliberate and decide who can modify the work to other form, and who may expose the work the individuals who possibly could financially profit from this work, and other pieces of work in relation and the rights.
