Copyright

The United States Copyright Office states the term copyright as a form of protection provided by the laws of the United States (Title 17, U.S. Code) to the authors of "original works of authorship" that usually includes intellectual works.

Copyright infringement is termed as the unauthorized use of material protected by the Copyright Law. When somebody reproduces another entity's work, or somebody creates derivative works that build upon it - without rightful permission by the copyright owner - that person has said to have violated somebody's copyright. Copyright infringement is considered a criminal act. It can also come in a form of piracy, when somebody reproduces and distributes electronic and audio-visual media without any authorization by the copyright owner.

Copyright infringement is a serious crime because the copyright owner accrues unrealized losses due to unauthorized duplication and distribution of intellectual works. Businesses get heavily affected as piracy is rampant nowadays. With the advent of a number of technologies that people can use to reproduce and distribute electronic media, statistics show that billions and billions of dollars are lost every year because of unauthorized distribution of software, music, films and other audio-visual media, on a larger scale.
