Best Answer

Infringement is copying, altering, distributing, or performing/displaying a protected work without permission. The first step when you feel someone has infringed your copyright is to contact them directly and specify what they have used that you believe to be yours, and what action you want them to take (stop using the materials, agree to a license, etc.). If you cannot reach agreement directly, you may choose to involve a lawyer.
