1. Read the article 10 Big Myths about copyright explained and list each one and write a sentence or two (do not cut and paste what it says) what it means.
1) "If it doesn't have a copyright notice, it's not copyrighted." This state,ment is not true. Every work should have copyright on it.
2) "If I don't charge for it, it's not a violation." It is still a violation.
3) "If it's posted to Usenet it's in the public domain." No, this is not true, nothing modern is in the public domain anymore unless the owner explicitly puts it in the public domains
4) “My posting was just fair use!"
Fair use as defined by the US copyright law was created to allow things such as commentary, parody, news reporting, research and education about copyrighted works without the permission of the author
5) "If you don't defend your copyright you lose it." -- "Somebody has that name copyrighted!"
This is false. Recently copyright is effectively never lost, unless explicitly given away
6) "If I make up my own stories, but base them on another work, my new work belongs to me."
This is false, this is a perfect example of U.S. Copyright law. The law is quite specific about making these works, and permission of author is required.
7.) "They can't get me, defendants in court have powerful rights!"
This is false, in a way. Copyright law is mostly civil law, the side that wins i the side which mostly which side and set of evidence the judge/jury believes more can't get me, defendants in court have powerful rights!"
8) "Oh, so copyright violation isn't a crime or anything?"
Well, recently in the USA commercial copyright violation involving more than 10 copies and value over $2500 was made a felony, however the courts are no to strict with emails and such smaller violations, they are too busy for that.
9.) "It doesn't hurt anybody -- in fact it's free advertising."
It’s the author discretion if they want to advertise or not, they stil need to be asked.
10.) "They e-mailed me a copy, so I can post it."
All email you write comes with a copy right, however, somebody who sues over an ordinary message would almost surely get no damages, because the message has no commercial value, but if you want to stay strictly in the law, you should ask first. Only way one can sue for damages, is to have the email be in secrecy, or private.
11) Protecting author’s rights to make benefits out of their product and also protecting author’s general right of how a work is used. Copy right is also a reward for author to promote their product and fund for the future products as well.
