Copyright can be a confusing territory for many people. In many cases the natural confusion over the sometimes varied circumstances surrounding copyright will lead people to rely upon rumor or myth more often than the actual legal facts which naturally confuses the matter even more. In this document we will attempt to eliminate some of the confusion and counter many of the myths surrounding copyright.

If you require legal advice, you should seek the services of a qualified attorney. What is Copyright Infringement? To simplify this question, copyright infringement occurs when you do certain things with a creative work which someone else produced without first getting the proper permission. Some examples of copyright infringement (this is only a partial listing) can include: Placing a photograph or creative work online without proper permission. Using a creative work commercially. Adapting a creative work of one medium to another, such as making a book into a movie or a photograph into a painting. Modifying or editing a creative work without proper permission. |
