Intellectual property is a name used for material, or things, that are intangible (you can't touch it) – like ideas, music, written word, and pictures. You may not be able to touch it, but it does have value to the person who made it.

These things can be found on the Internet. However, you cannot just take them. They belong to someone who deserves to get paid or given credit for them. In this activity you will learn about different types of intellectual property and what can happen if you steal it.
