It might seem obvious that the individual creator of a particular work, whether it is a piece of literature, a film or a song, should have full rights to that work and control over how it is used. While for the average person, the concept copyright might seem unimportant or even an inconvenience for them personally, the idea behind copyrighted material has existed for centuries and is a major part of the socioeconomic structure in the ...

The physical rights over a property such as a book, manuscript, painting or CD is not similar to owning the copyright to the work personified in the item. Under the first sale policy, ownership of a physical copy of a material that has been protected by copyright permits reselling, lending, disposing of the item. Nevertheless, the copyright does not permit reproduction of the material, publicly performing or displaying it, or taking part in any activity that is reserved for the holder of the copyright. The transfer of the physical duplicate does not reassign the copyright holder’s rights to the item, including an ...

Internet Copyright Infringement

This paper is a research on Congressman Howard Coble’s Online Copyright Infringement Liability Limitation Act of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. It limits the accountability of internet service providers (ISPs) “for copyright infringements made over their networks, unless they have knowledge of such activity or gain economically from it” (Macavinta, 1998).
The writer agrees with the provisions of this law, as the writer believes that each individual should be responsible and accountable for their own actions. The writer believes that it would be unfair and unreasonable to make ISPs accountable for every single action of their subscribers. For ...

Introduction

Literary appropriation may be defined as the legal beneficial and creative art of borrowing from literary work of another author to come up with a completely different work from the original (Adeney 2013). It is simply the unoriginal, imitative or different perspective of the original work as seen and created by the ‘new’ author. It is different from plagiarism, which is essentially copying, direct lifting of an author’s words without acknowledgement, stealing of another’s work or pirating. These borrowed ideas are geared towards achieving certain literary objectives such as to criticize, ridicule, create new literary work, prepare ...

Being commonly understood as a legal concept, copyright is the right of ownership given to the person behind an original piece as enacted and implemented by the government. It is a category of Intellectual property rights which gives the originator exclusive rights to decide who benefits or adapts the work along with other rights associated with the product. In other words, it gives the sole authority and right to the person for his original work (Mark, 2012). The idea of copyright dates back to ...

Legal action has been taken as a remedy to this problem to the IPSs who fails to corporate with this legislation.

1. What are the ethical implications of self plagiarism as opposed to plagiarizing the work of another?
Among the ethical approaches presented in the article written by Beth Dixon (2003), there are certain differences between the possible ways of treating plagiarism. In each of them it is possible to find an answer to the question of self plagiarism implications. For instance, in the virtue ethics offered by Aristotle, dishonesty is considered to be vice, which is why students should decide for themselves, whether to live their lives adhering to high moral standards, or to be dishonest. In the ...

Introduction

The issues that surround the protection of intellectual property continue to prevail as the intangible nature of intellectual property makes the limitations of its proper use hard to identify and delineate. Especially in this age when technology enables intellectual property to be created in so many digital formats, such properties can be even harder to safeguard. Although laws are created to define and limit the correct and proper use of intellectual property, these laws are not always enough. To strike a balance, the proper use of intellectual property can be ensured through compliance to these laws combined with a person’s ...

Introduction

Music falls into the category of intangible assets for which the owners are given exclusive rights when it comes to their use and distribution. It is a creation of the mind similar to literature, art, discoveries and other inventions. The owner has a copyright to his work ensuring that he is the only one authorized to gain financially from the music. He has to receive the credit for his work. It is therefore a criminal offence for an individual to obtain and distribute copyrighted music without permission from the owner.

It has been a long journey for the musicians in protecting their intangible ...

Introduction

One of the major cases about copyright infringement has recently been in session in one of the federal courts of appeal in New York. The case features a well-known photographer, Patrick Cariou, against a famous appropriation artist, Richard Prince. The main argument in this case was about how exactly fair use interpreted in a court. It also seeks to clarify whether there is a provision in the law for works that have copyrights to be re-purposed for the development of new works, which are distinct or different from the copyrighted work even when they refer, criticize, or even comment about the original work.

The characteristic that differentiates bootleggers and music downloaders is that the former usually acknowledge their practices as violations of the laws and regulation regarding the copyright and try hard not to be detected. Generally, these collectors of bootlegged material “recognize their own activities as breaking copyright laws or carrying social connotations of deviance” (Wiest, 2007). Thus, bootlegging is an activity that is more prevalent under the ground and is commonly done in record shops located back street (Wiest, 2007).
Bootlegging on the Internet is increasing day by day and this practice ...

Abstract

Creative writing and originality have been lacking in contemporary art of writing. Most writers have been copying words and thoughts from other authors, arrogating that the generated piece of work is new or original, and this is clearly plagiarism. In the same light, plagiarism has had a broad concept, ranging from copying of ideas, and words, to infringement of copyrights. The problem has been consuming deep into academic institutions, with few pertinent solutions put in place. Similarly, honesty and integrity has been declining among the students, attributed to the easy and uncontained access to the internet. In relation to this, ...

Just as constitutional rights protect the normal citizens of a country from oppression, the individuals who compose, write and record music have rights to protect the acts of their creation. In the absence of these rights, those who have dreams of focusing their energies and talents into creating music would be economically unable to that. This outcome would inadvertently shrink the artistic expression that exists today as well as that of the future generations. This paper aims to look at the universe of music royalties and explore some of the financial and business related issues of this industry. It aims ...

The film and music industry have both evolved drastically during the past decades. From vinyl records to CD’s to digital mp3 files in the music industry, and from cassette tapes to mp4 files in the film industry. The evolution in both the film and music industry is most likely a result of the practicality demanded by the society. Individuals often seek easier and cheaper alternatives. In both of these relevant industries, the most practical solution is of course to have instant access to demanded content that is merely software and requires no type of disc. ...

Advertising plays a critical role in modern internet service provision. It is a source of revenue through which most websites are funded. This fundamental economic function of on-line advertising coupled with capitalism has seen the increase as well as an expansion of the scope of web content.

Abstract
With the advent of technology, the level of invasion into the territory of our individual privacies has increased significantly. Fancy gadgets have crept into changing rooms, lockers, washrooms and in some cases public places to record the most intimate acts, which when revealed would embarrass any victim. In spite of the best efforts of the state legislators, the laws do not sufficiently address the core issues. Even the judicial pronouncements lack sufficient foresight in laying down the gauntlet for the peeping toms. The situation is clearly calling out for ...

Medicaid, a program that is endowed with providing insured health care services to the poor, the old and the disabled in the United States can be debated as one of the most successful health care systems in the USA.

Cyber laws are established to ensure safe, fair and responsible use of the internet by all the users whether they are common internet using citizens or law enforcement agencies.

One of the earliest questions that arose in Christian culture was whether or not believers should even avoid sin. After all, if the purpose of Christ's sacrifice on the Cross was to free humanity from the eternal burdens of sin, what is the point of living an ethical life? The thief hanging on one side of Jesus at Golgotha received admission into heaven simply for declaring his belief in Jesus, right at the end of his life. Before that, he had clearly spent a life living far from the teachings of Christ; otherwise, he would not have received a death sentence ...
