What is Intellectual Property?
Creative expression of an idea that is put into a fixed form .
Examples: books, plays, song lyrics, song melodies, video games, websites, online applications, photographs, videos, movies, designs, TV programs, performances, choreography, and more!!!
Intellectual Property…problemEven in its tangible forms, intellectual
property can be difficult to understand and connect value to.
The complexity and confusion increases when the intellectual property is creative content that can be digitally distributed over the Internet.
Making something available on the Internet sometimes creates a disconnect between the content creator and the end user.
What’s Plagiarism?Using someone else’s ideas,
words, or creative content without getting permission or giving proper credit.
Plain and simple: plagiarism is...
STEALING!!!
What’s Copyright?Copyright is a set of exclusive rights that allow
an owner of creative content to do or authorize others to do these things:
reproduce the work; distribute copies of the work to the public by
sale or other transfer of ownership, or by rental, lease, or lending;
to perform the work publicly; to display the work publicly; to create derivative works; (that means to create
new works based closely on the original, such as a translation of a book from one language into another, or making a book into a movie)
How long does copyright last?For individuals: 70 years after
death of creator.For corporations: 95 years from
first publication, or 120 years from its creation.

So…to review…For written work: be sure to cite
your sources (tell where you got your information) either in the paper itself or by using a Works Cited page at the end.
For creative content that you are using from the web, apply the “Four Factors of Fair Use” and then cite your source, ask for permission to use, and/or use an official notice on the opening slide. * (see the example on the note page from Ms. Harris)
