What is understanding copyright

emPower’s understanding of copyright courses online will help you understand what copyright is, and how it affects the way that you can use materials from books, newspapers and the Internet.

Federal and international copyright laws protect the rights of the creators and authors of books, movies, music, works of art, software, and other types of work. Copyright protection grants copyright holders legal and exclusive rights over their works. This includes (but is not limited to) books, newspaper articles, graphic works, music, movies, and software Failing to comply with such law exposes you and your organization to legal penalties that could run into millions of dollars.

This course would help you to understand what you can copy and what you should avoid under copyright laws. We’ll also look at the ways copyright laws protect software, and explore open source and public domain software.

When considering copyright protection, you need to consider the work in terms of the following five elements of copyright.

  1. What’s the nature of the work?
  2. What’s the nature of ownership?
  3. Does the copyright allow for exceptions?
  4. Would your actions infringe upon the owner’s copyright?
  5. Does your work outweigh the owner’s rights in terms of public interest?

Although limited use of copyrighted works is permitted under the law, you’d need a license from the copyright holder, if you want to use their work for the purposes listed below.

  1. Reproduce the work
  2. Prepare derivative works based on the original
  3. Distribute copies
  4. Perform the work publicly
  5. Display the work publicly
