Copyright laws are laws that permanently fix original work that can be seen or heard in some way so that only the copyright owner has the right to use his or her own work. Many things are copyrighted such as plays, movies, music, dances, and books.

Public domain is where usually the copyright law has expired, a material was never copyrighted, or the material is uncopyrightable and now anyone can use the work that has been created. Parody is where a work makes fun of another by imitating it in a mocking way.

I could get in trouble by the law if I were to use something that was copyrighted. I might have to pay a fine or I could get into more serious trouble.

A Copy Right is a legal concept, enacted by most governments, giving the creator of an original work exclusive rights to it, usually for a limited time. Generally, it is "the right to copy", but also gives the copyright holder the right to be credited for the work, to determine who may adapt the work to other forms, who may perform the work, who may financially benefit from it, and other, related rights. It is an intellectual property form (unlike the patent, the trademark, and the trade secret) applicable to any expressible form of an idea or information that is substantive and discrete.
The public domain is a range of abstract materials – commonly referred to as intellectual property – which are not owned or controlled by anyone. The term indicates that these materials are therefore "public property", and available for anyone to use for any purpose. The laws of various countries define the scope of the public domain differently, making it necessary to specify which jurisdiction's public domain is being discussed. Furthermore, the public domain can be defined in contrast to several forms of intellectual property; the public domain in contrast to copyrighted works is different from the public domain in contrast to trademarks or patented works.
A parody, in contemporary usage, is a work created to mock, comment on, or poke fun at an original work, its subject, or author, by means of humorous or satirical imitation.
Many things are copy righted such as the Samuel Adams logo and KISS songs like Hard Luck Woman or Love Gun.
As a student we could get in trouble by infringing by

The phrase "exclusive right" means that only the copyright holder is free to exercise those rights, and others are prohibited from using the work without permission.

A parody is a work created to mock, comment on, or poke fun at an original work, its subject, or author, by means of humorous or satirical imitation.

Some times that are copyrighted are the Nike symbol, pictures taken by a photographer, videos, music, and names like IPod and Zune. There are many things copyrighted but some people take the chance and still do it.

As a student, you could get in trouble if you took songs from the computer and downloaded it without permission and made a disc. Another example is videos, if a student were to copy the movie without the creators permission this is wrong. Also pictures, if a student took them and scanned them on the computer to make a copy of them, this is illegal because of the copyright law.

i don't really know what any of that is but some items that are copyrighted are songs, movies,plays, and a hole bunch of other stuff


as a student it is not that hard to get in trouble for copywriting. if you copy and paste items then you r copywriting. you should nmot copy and paste things any ways because you should do the work yourself if you want the credit for it.

i think that if a student copys and pastes something for their homework then they should be upunished severly. copywriting is illegal and is not allowed. At least it was the last time i checked. i am not so sure about that now.

Copyright law is a form of protection provided by the laws of the United States to the authors of "original works of authorship", including literary, dramatic, musical, artistic and certain other intellectual works. This protection is available to both published and unpublished works. Public domain is a range of abstract materials-commonly referred to as intellectual property-which are not owned or controlled by anyone. The term indicates that these materials are therefore "public property", and available for anyone to use for any purpose. A parody, in contemporary useage, is a work created to mock, comment on, or poke fun at an original work, its subject, or author, by means of humorous or satirical imitation. Some items that are copyrighted are books, songs, movies, or television shows. A student could get in a lot of trouble by infringing upon a copyright if they copied a story, song, etc. and said that they wrote it themselves. Someone could recognize it as another person's, and the student could get sued by the company or person.

The copyright laws are laws that fix original work that can be seen or heard(such as music) in some way so that only the copyright owner has the right to use their own work. There are many things that are copyrighted such as; movies,music,books, and probably another things. As a student I could get in trouble for writing something that was not my own.

Connor Haberland said...

Copyright laws are laws that give the creator of a work of any kind exclusive rights. Such as money, and promoting. If someone takes the persons creation and uses it in a way that is illegal in accordance to the (C) laws they can be fined or imprisoned. A public domain is usually something that has no copyright. Parody is just taking something and turning it into something funny WITH permission from the owner. If I were to use copyrighted material in a way that breaks the copyright laws i could be fined or imprisoned. I could copy and paste material from a copyrighted website.

Copyright laws are laws that are permanently fix, original work that can be seen or heard of. Only the copyright owner has the right to use their work. It's forbidden to use a copyright work without the permission of the copyright owner. Anyone who doesn't have permission by the copyright owner has broken the law.

Public domain is when the work is uncopyrightable and anyone is allowed to use the work that has been created earlier.
Parody is when someone uses work from a copyright and doesn't have permission, you better be able to pay the copyright's owner.
Some items that are copyrighted are books, plays, music, dances, movies and pictures.

As a student, how I could get into trouble upon a copyright is using an item that has a copyright on it.
You can't copyright an idea. We can only copyright the form of an idea.
A copyright use to last for at least fourteen years, now a copyright can last for a lifetime (According to the blog.)

Copyright laws are regulations that the government has set on works that protect the original artist or creator. The permanent, original work as seen or heard can only be used by the owner. The owner has the exclusive rights to use the document. A copyright is usually in place as little as 14years but can last indefinitely.
Public domain relates to the idea that the “piece of work” is free for anyone to use. Anyone in society has access to use this without breaking the law of a copyright. The material is public property.
A parody is created to mock or make fun of an original work. It doesn’t really change the original work, but makes fun of it.
Some items that are usually or almost always copyrighted would be the following: movies, books, music, plays, dances, pictures. Anything that is an original and the creator wants it to remain an original.
As a student we could get in trouble breaking copyrights by downloading music without the artist’s permission, copying movies and videos without permission. We have to make sure if we copy and paste that we use a bibliography to give credit where it is due.

Coptrightis laws which govern the legality of ownership of a particular photographer or piece of work. Public Domain is a work is said to be in the public domain if it is not protected by copyright, or if the copyright for it has expired. Parody is make a spoof of or make fun of. Some items that are copyrighted are movies, stories, books and many more things. Well when we write storys the teacher always says don't copy anybody eles work.

lgower said...

Copyright laws are practically laws that are against copying without permission. To be even more exact they are laws stating that you can not copy something if you do not pay for it, ask the person who made it, or endless it’s your own. Public domain is land owned by the government or at least that is what it states on dictionary.com. Movies, music, and books are some of the items that are able to be copyrighted. A parody is an entertaining imitation of a piece of writing. Some ways teens can get in trouble with copying are defiantly within you tube by copying the music without buying it.

A copyright law states that you may not use something that belongs to another person unless you do one of the following: 1)Pay for the use of the work. or 2) Ask the business, company, or person whom owns that work for permission to use the work.

Public domain is when a work has expired its copyright law and therefore then enters the free world for any use that the society desires.

Parody is when a work somehow mocks another work by immitation.

Some items that may be copyright are music, pictures, movies, dance, song, and books.

As a student, if I broke a copyright law the business, company, or person whom owned that work could sue my family for use of they work, or sentence me to community service.

Wow! That video made a boring subject really interesting.
Copyright laws are laws that give the creator of an original work exclusive right to it. The public domain usually copyrights movies, music, art, and ideas. The public domain is all the people in society. The public domain doesn’t just copyright, they also use parody. Parody is a humorous or satirical imitation of a serious piece of literature or writing. Copyrighting is done by everyone: teachers, students, governmental persons, ministers, etc. Teachers could copyright assignments. Students could copyright essays and reports. Governmental persons copyright speeches. Ministers copyright sermons. Copyrighting is illegal and is punishable by law. Nobody should do it.

Copyright laws are laws put on things like movies, CD's, and slogans. These are put on here so that people cant duplicate and make profit from some one elses work. Public domain means it's for the public. Some items that are copyrighted are songs, Cd's, movies, slogans,books, and authentic items. As a student I could get in trouble by copying music, including someone elses work, and copy and pasting a poem or slogan and saying I made it up.

Copyright laws make an owner's work only legal to use by them. This is as long as the work can be heard or seen. No ideas can be copyrighted unless they are created.

The public domain is the time it takes for a copyrighted work to become legal for the public to copy. They can copy it for educational purposes like in this film or can be copied for other purposes. It really depends on the time it takes for a copyrighted work to expire.

Some things that are copyrighted include a lot of stuff. One thing that can be copyrighted is movies. Another is music. A dance can be. A picture or other form of art can be. A novel or other literary work can be copyrighted. Even plays can be copyrighted. These are the main things that can be copyrighted.

A parody is when something makes fun of something else. This could be on a commercial or on a comedy. Parodies in my opinion are shallow ways to get someone else's business from somewhere else.

Violating a copyright law could most likely get you into major trouble. You can infringe upon a copyright law by doing many things. You could illegally download something, burn a disc, or something as simple as leaving out a site out when mentioning sites you used for a power point. It is all bad to do.

Public domain is material that is uncopyrighted, whose copyright has expired, or is uncopyrightable.♥

United States copyright law governs the legally enforceable rights of creative and artistic works in the United States.
Copyright law in the United States is part of federal law, and is authorized by the U.S. Constitution. The power to enact copyright law is granted in Article I, Section 8, Clause 8, also known as the Copyright Clause, which states:
The Congress shall have Power [. . .] To promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts, by securing for limited Times to Authors and Inventors the exclusive Right to their respective Writings and Discoveries.
This clause forms the basis for U.S. copyright law ("Science", "Authors", "Writings") and patent law ("useful Arts", "Inventors", "Discoveries"), and includes the limited terms (or durations) allowed for copyrights and patents ("limited Times"), as well as the items they may protect ("exclusive Right to their respective Writings and Discoveries").
In the U.S., copyright is administered by the United States Copyright Office, a part of the Library of Congress.
A Public Domain isthe status of a literary work or an invention whose copyright or patent has expired or that never had such protection.
Parody is a humorous or satirical imitation of a serious piece of literature or writing: his hilarious parody of Hamlet's soliloquy.
Movies, books, dvds, some music, and etc. are cpoyrighted.

Public domain the status of a literary work or an invention whose copyright or patent has expired or that never had such protection.

A parody is a humorous or satirical imitation of a serious piece of literature or writing. Such as if you go on YouTube to find your favorite music video, you might find someone who put a video of themselves dancing to that song and making fun of it.

Some examples of copyrighted items are movies, books, songs, and plays/musicals.

If I were to copyright, my parents would get in trouble for me since I am only a minor. They could be fined so much money. If an adult were to copyright, they would get into more serious trouble because they are not a minor.

Copyrights are laws that give credit to the creator of a work such as a movie, T.V. show, book or music and there are many other things that can be copyrighted. Public domain is when something hasn't been copyrighted, the copyright is expired, or if the work is not able to be copyrighted and is able to be used by the public and nobody can make money off of it. A parody is when you mock a work. For example, Epic Movie is a perfect example of a parody becuase it makes fun of every movie that came out in 2006. One way that I could get in trouble by infringing upon a copyright is if I took a copyrighted work, renamed it and sayed that I did it. Vanilla Ice got in trouble with Queen for using the music to "Under Pressure" in his song "Ice Ice Baby" and he would have been sued for using a copyrighted work if he didn't add one extra note to the tune.

A parody is when someone takes something and changes it so that its used to make fun of it, such as a song. Weird Al makes parodies for any song you can think of.

Yeah i like this movie.It is very entertaining and funny. Copyright is the exclusive right to make copies. alot of people do it illegally by playdorism and pirating videos and stuff like that. I dont know why people do it. I think they do it because they are to frugal and selfish to spend their money on the things that they really want. Books, Videos, Plays, Dances, Music are all things that can be copyrighted. The one most common thing i have seen copyrighted is books. You should never infringe upon copyright because you could get in trouble and have a lot of problems. You could get fined big time for illegal copyright if you get caught. You could get into maoney problems. This one kid owed gmail 60,000 dollars because they saw on his email account that he was using limewire. He got fined and his parents had to pay that money to gmail. It was horrible. He was in so much troubl and i bet he never does that again.

Copyright laws are laws that say you can’t copy another idea that isn’t your idea. To get a copyright you must have your idea patented or it can be stolen legally. Public domain is a copyright law that has expired. There are very few public domains because they last a very long time as of lately. A parody is a movie or story that includes satire and humor about another idea that isn’t theirs’. Some copyrighted things include movies, books, logos, or songs. Specific copyrighted items are MySpace, The Chronicles of Narnia, Spiderman, and A Wrinkle in Time. You could get in trouble by being sued or you could fail because it is not ethical.

fletcher devaul said...

Copyright laws are when someone isn’t legally allowed to copy an idea that has already been thought of. For example if you took the movie Narnia and charged people to watch it and said you produced it, tat is copy write. Public domain is when a copyright sentence runs out and the public can use the idea for themselves. For example if Holes copyright ran up than you could charge people to watch it and say you wrote it. As a student you could get in trouble by infringing up a copyright when you copy off other people’s work. Also you could be infringing on these blogs if you write the same sentences as other people.

A copyright is a law that means the author or creator of a literary work, musical, or artistic work is protected from anyone making copies or using their work during the lifetime of the author or creator and for fifty years after his or her death. Public domain means that the copyright has expired and can be used. A parody is a humorous imitation of a person or event.
Some copyrighted things might be the apple for Apple Computers, Mickey Mouse for Disneyland, and the Under Armour symbol.

Copy Right is a legal concept, enacted by most governments, giving the creator of an original work exclusive rights to it, usually for a limited time. Public domain is when copyrights expire and are available for everyone to use if the owner of the copyright does not pay the fee for copyrighting annually. Movies, games, pictures and books are all examples of copyrighted materials. As a student I could get in trouble with copyrighting by copying copyrighted pictures to a PowerPoint and saying they are my own.

Copyright is a legal concept, started by most governments. It gives the creator of an original work exclusive rights to it, usually for a limited time. It gives the copyright individual the right to be given the credit for the work.

You have to follow several steps to register your book, manuscript, online work, poetry, or other text: Step 1- Make sure your work is a literary work. Literary works may be published or unpublished and include textual works with or without illustrations. Computer programs and databases also are considered literary works. To register serials and periodicals- Put into one envelope or package:
It takes a $45 payment that is sent to "Register of Copyrights." It will be nonreturnable copies of the material to be registered.

The public domain is a range of abstract materials that are not controlled by anyone. When the copyright expires, the work enters the public domain. About 15 percent of all books are in the public domain, including 10 percent of all books that are still in print. These materials are "public property", and available for anyone to use for any purpose.

A parody copies a work of art, literature, or music for the purpose of making playful fun or a joke of the original work. A parody may make fun of other works it is imitating or may just be for comedy.

A parody involves a serious work that has been changed to make it seem silly or funny by mocking or pointing out shortcomings in a original work. A parody is similar to a spoof. The word parody comes from the Greek word paroidia meaning a song sung alongside another. In current culture, a parody can be print, audio and visual media. Copyright laws are complex when dealing with a parody. Since the original work is copyrighted to the original creator, the legal argument begins from the new work based on the original. In many cases, the creator of parody must acquire permission from the creator of the work they have in mind to spoof.

Some items that are copyrighted are trademarks like “McDonalds” arches, songs, books, and phrases. Names, images and logos are all items that can be copyrighted.

Copyright law secures for the person who created something the right to control who can make copies, or make works derived from the original work.
Once a work is in the public domain, it cannot later be copyrighted.
A parody is a work that ridicules another, usually well-known work, by imitating it in a comic way
Some things that are coprighted are books,music,dances,symbols,names.

Copyright laws are regulations that the government has set on works that protect the original artist or creator.Public domain is when the work is uncopyrightable and anyone is allowed to use the work that has been created earlier.
A parody is a humorous or satirical imitation of a serious piece of literature or writing. Such as if you go on YouTube to find your favorite music video, you might find someone who put a video of themselves dancing to that song and making fun of it. As a student you could get in trouble breaking copyrights by downloading music without the artist’s permission, copying movies and videos without permission. We have to make sure if we copy and paste that we use a bibliography to give credit where it is due.

Copyright is the legal right granted to an author, composer, playwright, publisher, or distributor to exclusive publication, production, sale, or distribution of a literary, musical, dramatic, or artistic work. Public Domain is the status of a literary work or an invention whose copyright or patent has expired or that never had such protection. Some items that are copyrighted are music and videos and stuff like that. Anyone can get into trouble by infringing copyright. For example, if you put a hyperlink on your webpage the website's owner would usually be happy. Although, in some cases the hyperlink may be misleading. Also, copying movies and CD's may also get you into trouble. You might have to pay up to a 250,000 dollar fine if you get caught.

Savannah (: said...

By definition, a copyright is “a form of protection provided by the laws of the United States to the authors of ‘original works of authorship,’ including literary, dramatic, musical, artistic, and certain other intellectual works.” Basically, a copyright lets your original idea be yours. No one can take your work. You keep exclusive rights on your copyrighted work. A copyright can be on something published, or unpublished.

A public domain is nearly self explanatory. The public domain is a range of abstract materials – commonly referred to as intellectual property – which are not owned or controlled by anyone. The term indicates that these materials are therefore "public property", and available for anyone to use for any purpose.

A parody is a spoof. A parody is a work created to mock, comment on, or poke fun at an original work, its subject, or author, by means of humorous or satanic imitation.

Things like movies, books, and websites are usually copyrighted. Students can get into serious trouble if you take songs, stories, or essays of the Internet without purchasing them the proper way.

Copyright laws are laws that make it so a piece of work can’t be copied unless you were to get permission from the original owner. Public domains are abstract materials that are not owned or controlled by any one person. They are available for anyone to use. A parody is like a fake or mock version of something. They usually are to make fun of or to make it more humorous than the original. If I were to try and copy something that is copyrighted, it would be a serious offense. It is illegal. As a student, you could be sent to a juvenile detention center. You always have to be careful because even using copyrighted music for a PowerPoint then sharing your PowerPoint is against the law.

Copyright law secures for the creator of a creative effort the exclusive right to control who can make copies, or make works derived from the original work. There are a lot of subtleties and international variations but that's the gist of it. If you create something, and it fits the definition of a creative work, you get to control who can make copies of it and how they make copies, with some important exceptions.


So, basically copyright laws are so make sure that if you make up something or if it was your idea first, that no one tries take it and say that it was theirs first. (:

Copyright Laws are laws that let the creator or owner of a company or anything else keep it safe from plagerism. A public domain is something that has copyright laws that are out of date or they just do not have any. A parody is a remake of anything that is usually made for entertainment. Some of them are very funny though.

Almost all movies and T.V. shows are copyrighted. Books are also copyrighted so people can't just take the main idea or character names of a book.

People draw pictures or take photographs and when they upload them on the internet, they can say that it is thiers. hovever, if it is fan art and has characters from a story or movie, they have to give the writer credit for coming up with the characters.

Copyrights are laws that give credit to the creator of a work such as a movie, T.V. show, book or music and there are many other things that can be copyrighted. Public domain is when something hasn't been copyrighted, the copyright is expired, or if the work is not able to be copyrighted and is able to be used by the public and nobody can make money off of it. A parody is when you mock a work. For example, Epic Movie is a perfect example of a parody becuase it makes fun of every movie that came out in 2006. One way that I could get in trouble by infringing upon a copyright is if I took a copyrighted work, renamed it and sayed that I did it. Vanilla Ice got in trouble with Queen for using the music to "Under Pressure" in his song "Ice Ice Baby" and he would have been sued for using a copyrighted work if he didn't add one extra note to the tune.

Copyright laws are laws that say someone's work is their own, and no one else can use it unless they get permission from you. You have to be careful with copyright laws, because you could go to court or even spend time in jail for using someone's copyrighted work for something else. Public domain is when something is not copyrighted an anyone can use it. For example, the movie It's A Wonderful Life did so bad in theaters that it was made public domain. That's why they always show it on television near Christmas. Too bad for the director and actors. Some items that are copyrighted include music, books, other works of literature, web pages, and art. As a student, I could infringe upon a copyright (though I wouldn't try it) by copying information on a web page for a report or something.

This is a very good video that teachs people leasons and that they shouldn't copy right.Because if you copy right you can go to jail,and if you copy right something it isn't as good as it would be if you write it yourself.Like some things that are copy righted is music, books, and even videos.And parody is were people take someone elses work and imate it or mock it.

And if you do either one of these you can get in trouble with the law and you could wined up paying as fine. I also get in to trouble with my family.

Copyright laws are laws that state that no one can copy someone else’s work or remake someone else’s products. a public domain is: any work that is not copyright protected is considered to be in the "public domain", and includes materials created prior to 1922, works created for public use, government documents unless otherwise specified, and works whose copyright has expired. Some items that are copyrighted are computers cell phones and so on. As a student I would probly get in trouble for infringing upon a copyright by getting grounded?♥♦♥♦♥♦♥♦

Copyright laws are laws that keep other people from steeling their work. The public domain is the status of a literary work or an invention whose copyright or patent has expired or that never had such protection. Amost every book, movie, song, and srt work is copyrighted. As a student you could get in trouble by infringing upon a copyright you could get a zero on that assignment or maybe even in the class depending upon the importance of the assignment.

The copyright laws are that if you take someones work and say it's your own. There are so many things that are copyrighted such as music, plays, moives, dances, and many books.


Public domain is when the copyright law has expired, and when no material's have been copyrighted or when the material's has been uncopyrightable and now can be used by anyone.


Any student at any school and at any time can copyright something but not everyone know that it is happening. You can get in so much trouble for this and one way that can happen is that you can get a super duper bug fine that you will have to pay. People will have to pay about $250,000 fine.

The copyright laws are laws which govern the legality of ownership of a particular photographer or piece of work. Material that is uncopyrighted, whose copyright has expired, or is uncopyrightable.a composition that imitates somebody's style in a humorous way.No.You could get sent to jail or get sued for copyrighting.

Yeah i like this movie.It is very entertaining and funny.Copyright laws are when the work is permanently the owners and no one else’s work, and only the owner can use it. A public domain is when something was never copyrighted or the copyright law has expired. A parody is when someone’s work makes fun of someone else’s work. Items that are copyrighted are movies, music, and books. If I used something that was copyrighted I could get in big trouble and have to pay a fine or something.

Copyright laws are laws that permanently fix original work that can be seen or heard in some way so that only the copyright owner has the right to use his or her own work. Many things are copyrighted such as plays, movies, music, dances, and books. Public domain is where usually the copyright law has expired, a material was never copyrighted, or the material is uncopyrightable and now anyone can use the work that has been created. As a student we could get in trouble breaking copyrights by downloading music without the artist’s permission, copying movies and videos without permission. We have to make sure if we copy and paste that we use a bibliography to give credit where it is due.

A Copy Right is a legal concept, enacted by most governments, giving the creator of an original work exclusive rights to it, usually for a limited time. Generally, it is "the right to copy", but also gives the copyright holder the right to be credited for the work, to determine who may adapt the work to other forms, who may perform the work, who may financially benefit from it, and other, related rights. It is an intellectual property form (unlike the patent, the trademark, and the trade secret) applicable to any expressible form of an idea or information that is substantive and discrete.
Public domains are normaly where the copyright has expired.
Parody is where a work makes fun of another by imitating it in a mocking way.
As a student, you could be supended or worse.

OMG I loved this video. I'm a sucker for Disney cartoons. Copyright laws are laws that protect original work from being copied and used by someone other than the copyright owner. Material that hasn't been copyrighted or has a copyright which has expired is in public domain. When in public domain, anyone can use, change, or sell the work that was created by others. A parody is works created to mock, comment on, or poke fun at an original work, its subject, or author, by means of humorous or satirical imitation.
Most anything can be copyrighted. Books, video clips, and inventions are among the most popular. As a student, if I were to infringe upon a copyright, I would be punished within my school as well as paying a fine to the copyright owner.

Copyright is a permanantly fixed original work in some form can be seen or heard.Only the copyright owner has the right to use their work. It's forbiden to use a copyright work without permission granted by the copyright owner and if you do this you are breaking the law.
Public domain is a descrise to the forces of evil. A work in the public domain is free for anyone to use and is nessecary for the society.
Some things that are opyrighted are books, plays, music, dance, movies, and pictures.
As a student, I could get in trouble many ways. I can go to jail by copyrighting another person's property. I could get probation or anything like that.
