Copyright

Copyright:

Copyright is the law that protects people’s original work, if not followed you could face $10,000 and two years in prison.

If you want to use some phrase or want to take some words from a website or even a picture from a book or the internet or even music from youtube you have to put down these things:

• The name of the person who said it or who originally made it
• The name of the place where you found it like a book or a quote etc
• The year it was made or discovered etc
• The source of where you got it like the website link etc
• And last but not least the publisher of the photo or quote etc

For example you wouldn't take something that isn't yours, would you? Take it like this if you were in school or at work and you saw something that you really like that belongs to somebody you don’t know you wouldn’t just walk up to it and take it, right? Copyright is a serious matter now in 2015, if you copyright something it is called plagiarism. What is plagiarism? Well plagiarism is when you take somebody’s words or work and try to make it your own, this is copyright and that is why it is illegal! Copyright is ILLEGAL! Don’t perform copyright because it is against the law and it is taking other people’s ideas that they came up with themselves! Copyright is wrong, so if you want to take a picture from the internet or use a song from youtube you must put down the resource of where you got it or if you want to download or use a song from youtube you must contact the owner or the publisher of the video or the owner of the song!
