Description from "www.Wikipedia.org"
"Copyright
– symbolized "©" – is a legal concept,
enacted by most governments, giving the creator of an original
work exclusive rights to it, usually for a limited time. Generally,
it is "the right to copy", but also gives the copyright
holder the right to be credited for the work, to determine
who may adapt the work to other forms, who may perform the
work, who may financially benefit from it, and other, related
rights. It is an intellectual property form (like the patent,
the trademark, and the trade secret) applicable to any expressible
form of an idea or information that is substantive and discrete."
Just
as I have credited Wikipedia above, so should everyone using
pictures, text or any content from someone elses website.
Wherever possible they should also ask permission as the copyright
holder may not like the content to be used outside of the
source or in a site that has radically different views.
So,
that is one type of copyright infrigement, but what about
copying of music and films. Do you feel you have a right to
copy someone elses work? Is it your opinion that the film
company/pop star makes far too much money anyway? I know my
view, what is yours. Let's start the debate.
