WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW |
|
||||||
WHAT IS INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY? Any original creation in the fields of literature and the arts are classified as “Intellectual property”. In most countries, such as Canada and The United States, the instant an item is created, it is given automatic copyright protection. At this point all copyright laws are in place. |
|
|||||||
WHAT IS COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT? Many people don't realize just how all-encompassing a copyright is, it includes materials both in print and on the web. The person who holds the copyright to a piece of work has the legal right to control how it is used or deny the use all together. Using any material without permission is an “infringement” of the copyright and infringements, large or small can be grounds for legal action. |
|
|||||||
WHAT ARE THE PENALTIES FOR COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT? With technology today, it is very easy for somebody to steal the creative ideas of others. For this reason, lawmakers have set very hefty fines to deter this behavior. Some people may have the attitude that “Paying the fine is considered a cost of doing business.” Consider this, the price per copyright infringement can reach upwards to $150,000.00. By choosing to honor our original creative work you are exercising the value of professional integrity. |
