This document discusses copyright laws and fair use guidelines for students. It explains that copyright protects published and unpublished works from being used without permission or profit-sharing. Literary works, movies, songs, art and more can be copyrighted. The Napster lawsuit is mentioned, where the music industry sued Napster and the courts decided private citizens could be fined for sharing copyrighted music. Fair use allows some use of copyrighted works for educational purposes, but specific guidelines should be followed.
