Copyright protects original creative works and ensures that creators receive due credit for their ideas and expressions. It is illegal and unethical to use someone else's copyrighted work without permission. While the copyright symbol is not required, copyright exists automatically when a work is created. As the copyright owner, one has exclusive rights over how their work is used, including copying and adapting it. Fair use allows limited use of copyrighted works for purposes like commentary without permission. Plagiarism involves taking credit for someone else's ideas or words without citing the source, even if rephrased. Proper citation is always required to avoid plagiarism.
5. Being a copyright owner allows you to be
able to do certain things with your work
that others cannot. You can copy,
distribute, exhibit, perform, and turn your
books into movies because you own the
rights to it. Everyone else needs
permission to use your work and it needs
to be sited. (Youtube)
6. Fair Use allows people to use information without
permission. For something to be considered fair use
several things are taken into account. First, what the
information is going to be used for. If someone is planning
to make money from someone else’s copyrighted work it is
not considered fair use. Other things such as the amount
of
copyrighted information and
the effect on the market which
the copyright belongs to are
also looked at when deciding
whether something is fair use.

7. Plagiarism is when you take someone
else’s work without giving them credit.
However, even if you summarize or reword
someone else’s work you still need to give
them credit or it could be considered
plagiarism. That is why it is always best to
give credit as to where the
information came from
