Copyright is a legal concept that gives the creator exclusive rights to their work. It provides copyright holders the rights to be credited for their work, determine how it can be adapted or used financially by others, make copies of their work, prepare derivative works, publicly distribute their work, display and perform their work. Simply creating and saving original work in a tangible medium, such as posting online, is sufficient to obtain an automatic copyright. Individuals can be held liable for copyright infringement for copying and distributing others' copyrighted works without permission. Users can obtain permission to use copyrighted works or determine if their use qualifies as fair use. Works can also be licensed for use through options like Creative Commons licenses.

1. Copyright

2. Copyright
It is a legal concept, enacted by
most governments, giving the
creator exclusive rights to it.
Gives the copyright holder the
right to be credited for the work,
to determine who may adapt the
work to other forms, who may
perform the work, who may
financially benefit from it.

3. Your rights as a copyright owner
 Right to make copies
 Prepare derivative works

digital network.

4. What you need to know about
copyright protection…
Many people assume that everything posted
on the Internet is public domain, probably
because our law used to protect published works
only if they displayed the proper copyright
notice upon publication. The law, however, has
changed: neither publication nor a notice of any
kind is required to protect works today.

5. The facts
Simply putting the pen to the
paper or in the electronic medium,
putting the fingers to the save key
creates a copyrighted work. Once
expression is committed to a
tangible medium (and computer
media is considered tangible),
copyright protection is automatic.
So, postings of all kinds are
protected the same as published
printed works.

6. Liability for posting infringing works
The proliferation of RIAA lawsuits against individuals for
peer-to-peer file-sharing make clear that individuals can be
liable for their own actions when they copy and distribute
others' copyrighted works without permission.

7. What to do now?

8. Implied and express licenses to use
Internet materials
You can easily give your works an express
license by attaching a Creative Commons license to
the materials you post on your Website, or upload
to other sites.
It's easy and it sends the message that you want
your materials to be part of the flow of creativity.

9. Creative Commons licenses
• Every Creative Commons
license works around the
world and lasts as long as
applicable copyright lasts.
• These common features
serve as the baseline, on top
of which licensors can
choose to grant additional
permissions when deciding
how they want their work to
be used.

10. Fair use
Fair use is the right, in some
circumstances, to quote copyrighted
material without asking permission or
paying for it.

11. Getting permission
Assuming the work you wish to use is protected, the work
has not been licensed for your use online, and your use is
not a fair use or otherwise exempt from liability for
infringement, you need permission.
Check the Copyright Clearance Center("CCC") first.
If the work you want to use is registered with the CCC,
you can get permission instantly for most materials. If
your institution subscribes to the academic license and
your work is covered, you don't have to do anything --
your use is covered.

12. Orphan Works and Public Domain
Orphan Works Public Domain
 books, records, images,  if a work is published without
compositions, manuscripts, proper notice (name of publisher
movies, screenplays, painting and date) during certain time
and drawings, in short, any work frames (1923-1989), it becomes
protected by copyright whose part of the public domain. If it is
owner cannot be determined or not published, or if it is
located or who does not respond published after 1989 without
when contacted. indication of the author is, its
protection is automatic and lasts
for the life of the author plus
(and longer in some countries).

14. Conclusion
When you use others’ creative expressions,
set time aside to understand copyrights and
licenses rules that are linked to their original
creation.
