What may constitute software copyright infringement?
Copyright infringement in general is copying, altering, or distributing protected material without the permission of the copyright holder. If you have a software license to put a program on one computer and you put it on two, you have infringed the copyright. More details can be found in the End User Licensing Agreement (EULA) of the program.
What have you done that has violated copyright laws?
Me? I've photocopied a few things, made a mix CD or two, and watched a television program not available in my country via a clearly illegal stream. Copyright infringement is like speeding: it happens so much, you hardly even notice it...but that doesn't make it right.
What are two misconceptions about copyright?
There are a great many "urban myths" surrounding copyright law but the two most popular are probably... 1) You have to put a copyright notice on a work to protect it (not since 1989) 2) If I don't charge money for it it's not an infringement. (yes it is)

Unlike the patent process, there is no examination process in copyright registration. However, based on the dates of the two copyrights, the rightsholder of the first work could easily sue the rightsholder of the second work for infringement.

I would expect that everyone using the internet has at some time or another done something that would be considered copyright infringement, whether they knew it or not. That would be about 28% of the world population, or nearly two billion people.
What law did Congress pass to address the advent of digitized content?
The Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) is a United States copyright law that implements two 1996 treaties of the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO). It criminalizes production and dissemination of technology, devices, or services intended to circumvent measures (commonly known as Digital Rights Management or DRM) that control access to copyrighted works. It also criminalizes the act of circumventing an access control, whether or not there is actual infringement of copyright itself. In addition, the DMCA heightens the penalties for copyright infringement on the Internet. Passed on October 12, 1998 by a unanimous vote in the U.S. Senate and signed into law by President Bill Clinton on October 28, 1998, the DMCA amended Title 17 of the United States Code to extend the reach of copyright, while limiting the liability of the providers of on-line services for copyright infringement by their users.
How long does a copyright infringement judgment last?
Judgments are based on existing caselaw and on the facts presented by the two parties to the presiding Judge. The terms of the settlement (amounts, time limits, etc) vary from case to case.
Does copyright fall under civil or criminal law?
A civil case is between two people or organizations; a copyright example would be a photographer suing a publisher in civil court for using one of his images in a book without permission.A criminal case is between an infringer and the government; this only happens in extreme, extreme infringement cases, such as large-scale piracy. A slight but useful oversimplification of the issue would be to say that a criminal case arises when the infringement is so significant that it impacts the economy.
How can you mix or combine two or more songs?
There is a program called 'Virtual DJ' and there is a free version. Basically what this program does is it lets you combine up to four songs and it has effects that you can do along with it. Hope I helped.
