=
<span style="font-family: Georgia,serif">The definition of copyright according to the [|Academic Resource Centre] 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. It is a legal concept put in place by governments all around the world to “give the creator of an original work of authorship exclusive rights to it.” ======

<span style="font-family: Georgia,serif"> There are legal actions that can be taken by declaring someone else’s material as their own. In universities, students that are caught stealing submitting the work belonging to someone else can kicked out. <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; color: rgb(214, 102, 102)"><span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; text-align: center; display: block"> //What are the issues that arise from Copyright Laws?//

<span style="font-family: Georgia,serif"> Issues that arise from copyright laws are that a lot of people don’t abide by them, and often steal work claiming it as their own. This is called “plagiarism”. Plagiarism can be defined as the process of taking someone else’s work and claiming it as their own, or not giving the real author the appropriate credit. <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif"> <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif">Another copyright issue is piracy. According to the [|United States Patent and Trademark Office], piracy is: Copying or distributing protected works or products without the permission of the true owner/author of an intellectual property. By downloading things like movies or music off the internet without paying or without the author acknowledging the exchange, it is an illegal activity. <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; color: rgb(214, 102, 102)"><span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; text-align: center; display: block"> //What are the possible solutions for Copyright Laws?//

<span style="font-family: Georgia,serif">The ACTA (a draft circulated by the US) is a document which will enable border guards in any treaty country to confiscate electronic devices (think iPod, laptop, phone) to check for copyright infringements. According to Graeme Philipson, “they need no proof, only suspicion.”
