Netiquette outlines proper online behavior to encourage appropriate interactions. Copyright protects original works from being copied or distributed without permission. Fair use rules determine what educational or non-commercial uses are acceptable without obtaining consent. Plagiarism involves presenting another's ideas as your own without giving credit. Basic safety involves avoiding revealing private information, using secure websites, and having parental controls for children.
