Copyright by Oliver L. and Brianna H.


Have you ever said, “I want to steal, I mean use, this character?” Well too bad, its mine and Brianna’s characters and our article also. I hope you clicked on this to learn about copyright. According to www.dictionary.com, copyright means “the exclusive right to make copies, license, and otherwise exploit a literary, musical, or artistic work, whether printed, audio, video, etc.Copyright infringement is the act of stealing and profiting off of someone’s work which is not good. It's not just illegal but it’s also a moral issue.  

     Copyright infringement is a big deal, and it can get you into legal trouble. For example, Spotify was hit with a huge lawsuit of 1.6 billion dollars. Yes, that is gigantic for a lawsuit. This lawsuit was filed on January 3rd, 2018. If Spotify loses this lawsuit, they won’t be able to pay the fine. If you don’t think about copyright, you could end up like Spotify and possibly go bankrupt.
