Copyright provides legal protection for creative works to prevent others from copying or stealing ideas and logos. There are different types of copyright for things like books, films, songs, TV programs and advertisements. Obtaining a copyright involves registering the work to legally establish ownership. Failing to obtain proper copyright permissions when using others' creative works in your own can result in lawsuits for copyright infringement.

2. What is Copyright Research?
• copyright is a document which you can get to
stop people stealing your ideas/ logos an
example of this is McDonalds. Their logo is
known world wide and no one can now steal
their logo.

3. How Can You Use copyright?
• The copyright is when someone has copied/
stolen someone else's work, and claiming it as
their own.

4. Types Of Copyright
• There are different types if copyright for protection form different
types of media such as:
• A book
• Film
• Song
• TV Programme
• Advert
• Songs
• This protects everyone so that they know something is theirs.
Unless they decided to sell that idea to someone else. An example
of this would be ‘Beats By Dr. Dre’ who has recently sold that idea
to apple for a price region around $2.4billion

5. Advert
• An example of copyrighting something from an
advert would be E4 or the BBC.
• Because the BBC and E4 are two very different
but unique company’s it’s difficult to copyright
them because their logos are unique just like
their adverts.
• Copying/ stealing an idea from either of these
companies could lead to a huge fine without the
right documents and authorization from them.

6. Songs
• To use another artists song inside another
song will need permission from the other
artist.
• If any part of a different song is easily
recognised and the artist finds out then they
have the right to sue for not having the right
permission and not have documents saying its
ok for this to happen.

7. Film
• An example of film copyright would be the recent
occurring of Star Wars and Battlestar Galactica.
• Three of the reasons is that Star Wars have found
34 distinct ideas that have been used in Battlestar
galactica. The other reason being is that the
character in Battlestar Galactica is called Skyler
which was to much like the name Skywalker in
Star Wars. And also the title airing of Battlestar
Galactica was called Star Worlds, which again the
owners of Star Wars thought was to close to their
original name.

8. How this links to my animation?
• This links with my animation because we’re
doing our advert animation on a charity which
you don’t see much if on TV so we won’t be
copying anything from their advert apart from
maybe their music in the background.
