There is a lot of information theft on the Internet. Unscrupulous people think they have the right to copy your information and put it on their website or information product. To protect yourself against this theft you should copyright all your work.
What You Need to Know About Internet Copyright Law
I don’t think there is any area of the Internet so misunderstood as copyright law. Terms like “work of authorship”, “fair use” and “derivative works” are confusing.
Copyright Law and SEO
What Is Copyright?
Copyright is a legal right granted to the authors of certain artistic or creative works. I’m sure that wasn’t very helpful, so allow me to explain: it literally means “the right to copy”. This “copying” can be in the form of translated or derivative versions, reproductions, public or private distributions, displays, or broadcasts.
Is It Plagiarism or Copyright Violation?
Plagiarism is derived from the Latin plagiarius (“kidnapper”), and refers to a kind of intellectual theft defined as “the false assumptions of authorship, the wrongful act of taking the product of another person’s mind, and presenting it as one’s own.” (Alexander Lindey, Plagiarism and Originality)
Creative Commons Replacing Copyright?
Plagiarism is an issue that has always plagued writers online and those of us that offer our stuff for free are most at risk for this.
Somebody’s Distributing Your Copyright Content Illegally? Know Your Facts Before You Accuse
Is someone distributing your software or other copyright content illegally over the Internet? It’s possible. It happens. If you can prove your case, you have grounds for legal action.
Why Pay Good Money For Copyright Registration When I’m Already Covered?
Just for the record, let’s determine what Copyright actually protects. Simply put Copyright protects “expression”. According to the Copyright Act of the United States, items of expression can include literary, dramatic and musical works; pantomimes and choreography; pictorial, graphic and sculptural works; audio- visual works; sound recordings; and architectural works. Items that are not protected are ideas, titles, names, facts and short phrases.
Copyright Law and How it Works
Important: This article contains opinions and information about copyright law. Keep in mind that I am not a lawyer and have not been a lawyer in any past life that I am aware of. If you have specific questions about copyright law you should contact the appropriate legal resources.
Everything original that you write (or draw or paint or whatever), regardless of whether it is an email, a painting, an image, a thesis, a web page, a paragraph on a forum, or anything else is automatically copyright protected by you. It does, of course, have to be recognizable as an original work. Thus, the word “the” in a forum would hardly qualify. The exceptions generally must be spelled out in a contract that is agreed upon. For example, Webmasterworld’s Terms Of Service (TOS) modifies the copyright to both webmasterworld and the original author.
