Shalini sahoo -copyright vs. plagiarism[1]

The Internet is globalizing!!

The Internet allows us to access and use information of all kinds.

However, the Internet can lead to many problems if used

incorrectly!!

Intellectual property!!

Borrowing someone's creative ideas without permission or acknowledgement is equal to stealing someone’s property.

Difference between Plagiarism and Copyright??

Plagiarism is a

matter of ethics!Copyright is a matter of law!

Plagiarism

Plagiarism is use or reuse of words or ideas without acknowledgement!

Cutting and Pasting Is Plagiarism!

Citation is the solution to prevent plagiarism.

Copyright Infringement

Copyright infringement is the use or reuse of the words or ideas without permission !

There is always a conflict about who owns what!

Downloading songs from the internet without paying is illegal because it is somebody’s else property.

One can be jailed if found guilty of copyright infringement.

Are we criminals?!

Yes! Because we unknowingly download songs and sing songs without paying the owner their copyright money.

Too much law is bad! People should have freedom in terms of access to internet for the society’s progress.

Fair use is taking a small portion of the copyrighted material that doesn’t require gaining the permission of the copyright holder.

People may get in trouble with the concept of fair use when they take too large a portion of the original without permission.

Girl Talk knows how to legally

appropriate other people’s

ideas using the internet.

We create new ideas from the

old ones. So there should be a

little flexibility in terms of using

materials.

Copyleft is the concept of authors giving permission for others to use, reproduce, and modify their work as long as the users share their creations based off of the original with others as well.

Keep remixing……and change the word!!
