How can you avoid breaking the copyright law?

Answer 1

As a content user, only use materials you create yourself, things in the public domain, or things for which you have a license from the copyright holder.

As a content creator, clearly mark your materials (especially in the metadata of digital files), register your works with the copyright office, ensure professional associations have up-to-date contact information for you, and be vigilant about uses of your works.

Answer 4

Don't copy anything!

Seriously, anything that someone has written down or recorded in audio, video or electronic media is copyrighted. In some cases, they release it to the public domain, meaning they are granting everyone the license to use the material.

If there is a copyright statement anywhere on the page, document or recording, it is an indication that they do wish to control the distribution.

Violation of the copyright means that you are depriving the rightful owner of the ability to control the distribution and revenues associated with the material.
