Copyright is legal protection provided by the laws of the United States to the creators of things - like books or other written works, as well as other dramatic, musical, and artistic works. Copyrighted works must be tangible and are protected from being copied, distributed, performed, or changed without the creator’s (or owner’s) permission.

This protection is available to both published and unpublished works.

***That means - something you create is protected.

 

This means that only the person(s) who creates or owns a work may make copies of it or sell copies of it. This type of work could be movies, music, pictures, or software.

 


It is wrong to copy or download copyrighted articles, pictures, or other information from the Internet. When you download these items, the person who made them doesn’t get paid.
