By Henry Huynh

Citations

• As long as you site your sources and don’t claim the source as your own, it is not a copy right infringement.

• This is important whether you are making a website, story, poem, or even a song, if its similar, or based off of another person’s work, you must site it.

Are Your Protected?

• If you make an original piece of work, and you claim it to be all yours, it is protected by copyright laws but it has to have the copyright symbol.

• Copyright laws are intended to protect the creator’s or author’s credit of the work, and their rights to their work.

Abuses = Jail Time

• When you break copyright laws, a consequence could be jail time.

• Although in different states, the laws may be different, but the consequence is equally punishable.

Purchases vs. Stealing

• When you download content for free off the internet, that is illegal and it won’t stay anonymous.

• When you purchase off the internet, it will be sited and isn’t illegal.

At School or At Home

• When your at school and your doing a report, you still must site your source, otherwise you are claiming the author’s work to be yours which is against copyright laws, this is also applied for home projects, homework etc.
