Hey welcome to my blog page. I have made this about Copyright and Plagiarism issues because this is a topic of interest. Many school students and other people around the world violate the code of Copyright and plagiarise their work.
After doing research I have collected a range of information concerning this topic. But the first question would be; what is Copyright?
Copyright is a type of property that a person or persons have made and own, or contain their personal opinion published somewhere. Copyright is designed to prevent others using it as their own work. If a person were to use text or quotes or footages or a sound recording that is not theirs but use it as their own without permission from the copyright owner; is called plagiarism.
What rights do the copyright owners have?
Copyright owners have many types of rights, for example: Within literary, drama and music areas, they have the right to perform their work in public, record their work, copy their work and make it available to the public. Artists and filmmakers also have those rights and all hold a copyright license. If a person wanted to use any of these, they would need to get permission from the owner. The owner may give approval but with conditions such as; payment of a fee or giving the permission a limit of the owners knowledge of the time, place or purpose it will be used.
