Copyright Law

Copyrighting is the law that protects works of authors, artists, companies, etc. from being copied. We have the copyright law to reserve the right of credit. It prevents money being taken from companies, people, and so forth. It makes copying of materials, that should be bough, illegal.
Copyright protects the work of people from being copied and losing credit. There are copyright laws to keep people from losing credit and money. But it allows the public the right to use a fair amount of the work for good purposes.
Fair use is knowing what and how much of someone else’s work you can use. Fair use does not give the public the right to use whatever it wants. There are limits to what is fair.
Copyrighted work can not be put on a a school website without written permission because that is nto fair use. The owner of the work would lose credit. Almost everything on the web is copyrighted.

Creative commons means "some rights reserved."
