5. copy right |
|
| |
A copyright is the exclusive right to print, reproduce, sell, and exhibit written material, musical compositions, art works, photographs, movies and television programs, data systems, and other creations placed in a tangible, preserved medium of expression. This exclusive right also extends to the public distribution, display or performance of that copyrighted work and to the preparation of derivative works, or also it is the right of an author or originator of a literary or artistic work, or other production that falls within a specified category, to have the exclusive use of that work for a given period of time.

Using a Copyright: |
|
| |
Unlike the situation for patents, the exclusivity of copyrights, as to use, is subject to a number of exceptions. The two most important are these:
1. Fair use: This exception includes, among other things, limited reproduction for classroom purposes. To determine whether the use is fair, these four factors are considered:
Purpose and nature of the use; Proportion or importance of the part used in comparison to the work as a whole; the nature of the work; the use's effect on the value of the work, including its potential market. Parody can be a fair use.
2. Limited copying by libraries and archives. They usually can reproduce single copies for non-commercial purposes. Wholesale copying of large works or periodicals, though, is not allowed.
Like other forms of intellectual property, copyrights protect, not ideas, but only the tangible expression of ideas. |
