1. What is copyright?

Copyright is a law that protects the work and that gives the author or creator of the work, the freedom to give permission as to who may copy the work,( typically for short periods of time). This refers to literature, motion pictures, artworks, photographs, videos, educational materials, and musical materials.https://info.legalzoom.com/copyright-pictures-20279.html

2. Copyright Infringement and Fair Use 



The difference between infringement and fair use is that infringement is when someone copies something without permission for a purpose that requires permission, it is  against the law and is against the author of the material but Fair use is the guidelines that allow us to use the copyrighted materials for certain purposes like education without permission.

a. Some examples of copyright infringement are If you make 200 copies of a book without removing the author's name, and give them to 200 of your friends. If you download aMP3 music video without the permission of the author and share it with friends. This is another example that I had to post since I am an artist, photographer Rodgers sued artist Koons for taking his photograph and using it in his art, albeit changing it as an art form and made a lot of money, but Koons tried the defense citing parody. He lost.

b. One example of fair use is taping a tv program on your DVD player to watch at another time.

3. Academic Dishonesty

The concept of academic dishonesty means upholding the highest standards of complete honesty in the work that you submit and plagiarism is taking someone's words and work and saying it is your work without adding resources. Using quotations without quotation marks, using a quote without citing the source, using someone else's paper and saying it is your own, using or copying a song or artwork and saying it is your own which is an ethical one.PLAGIARISM

5. Copyleft and Creative Commons
The concept of copyleft presents a method for the software so it can be documented and distributed free to the community and the organization Creative Commons helps facilitate the copyleft concept by offering an open license which in advance permits users to use their work but in certain ways, often no restrictions.
