What are ill-effects of software piracy?
every time you purchase legitimate software, you are giving money to the sales people, shipping agents, manufacturer, designer, developer, etcetc
every pirated software program stops each of these people earning their share of the money from the software, however, some people may argue that they would never use it if they had to pay for it, & only use it if its free, but its still illegal if it has a copyright.
also to remember, if the developer & designer don't get paid for their work, they may no longer produce any products, & that leads to no new developments, & we all get stuck with old technology (yeah, like that's going to happen!)
What is the copyright date of YouTube?
Although it was founded in 2005, YouTube pages are dynamically configured: thus, whenever anyone loads a page, the page has that as the copyright date. It appears on their home page in the bottom left-hand corner.
From a technical standpoint, in a perfect world, someone more knowledgeable will complete this paragraph.
From a copyright standpoint, it's a point of some contention in the industry. In the case of wholly-original content, it would only be protected if recorded; fixation is a requirement of copyright protection. When licensing others' content, webcasting is often misunderstood; some music rightsholders, for example, consider live webcasting to be performance, and others feel it requires a synchronization license.

Why are there numbers and symbols on a keyboard?
Originally there was only the line of numbers at the top of the keyboard on early workstations. As PC's became more popular for business use, good design suggested that a number pad should be included in order to facilitate rapid data entry. However, some systems, mainly UNIX, were not capable of upgrading to this, so the main manufacturers standardised on a keyboard design that had both. In the long run, this was a cheaper solution.
Can you be sued or put in jail for posting yearbook pictures on Facebook?
The only input I can put on this is the taker of the picture owns the copyright to that picture. By law in reality you need to ask the takers permission to distribute this.
What is the copyright date of Google?
Web pages are typically designed to indicate a new copyright date each time they are generated; thus the copyright date would be the current year. That being said, the site went live in 1998.
Do copyright strikes on YouTube go away?
Strikes may be removed after 6 months, as long as no other infringing activity happens during that time.
Is everything on the Internet in the public domain?
It definitely is NOT. Many companies post images, logos, and stories that are copyrighted. MOST government websites have content that is not copyrighted, some will have content that IS copyrighted, and used with permission of the owner. When reading an article, or viewing images, scroll down- you may see a notice that says something like "All rights reserved" and the c in a circle symbol that means copyrighted- and a date. That is NOT public domain.
How is copyright infringement recognized on YouTube?
With Content Identification, a tool they use that scans new videos against a database of copyrighted content submitted using a form at http://www.youtube.com/t/content_management
What do we do when our movies on YouTube is copyrighted?
The copyright holder can file a DMCA claim against the violator, to get Youtube to either delete the video, or remove the soundtrack. YouTube has state-of-the-art technology that allows content owners to identify user-uploaded videos and audio comprised of their content, and choose what they want to happen when those videos are found. You can file a copyright notification using their webform. It also has a Content Verification program where you can submit multiple copyright notifications. The Content ID program allows copyright owners to identify user uploaded videos and decide whether they want to block or delete or monetize those videos. These tools have really helped YouTube and copyright owners fight copyright infringements or violations. If you remember the huge furore over the copyright issues filed by Viacom and the debates with the consortium of Japanese TV, music, and film companies really helped in making stricter and more effective copyright controls for YouTube.

Why is it copyright infringement to use other peoples music in youtube videos?
That's what the term "copyright" means, that the work in question (musical or otherwise) belongs to someone and cannot be copied without the permission of the owner (who normally wants to be paid).
No, not all music is copyrighted. Any music that you hear on the radio or buy on the internet is probably got a copyright on it.
The only things that will not have a copyright will be music for which the copyright has expired. The laws have changed, but in general, anything published prior to 1923 has entered the public domain. Anything published since then is likely protected for the life of the creator plus 70 years.
And anytime you create something, whether it is a book, or writing, or web page or music, you have a copyright to that item.
How do you make your YouTube video non copyright infringing?

OK, there is no way to not get copyrighted if you use copyrighted stuff. Unless its your copyright. (Which it's probably not.) The only way is just to ask the owner to have permission.

Is downloading copyrighted music while you are a LimeWire pro user illegal?
NO.
LimeWire Pro means you are paying for the media that you download. So that means it is not illegal. This is because you are technically BUYING the media that you want at home instead of going to the store.
If you have NOT paid for LimeWire, however, then it IS illegal. You are stealing the media. Downloading media from LimeWire for free is the same thing as robbing a store's CD's.
What are some examples of publications in the public domain?

All U.S. government works: USGS maps, GPO publications produced by government employees, etc.

Pedaling Through the Past
BICYCLE HISTORY 1400's One of Leonardo da vinci's students in the 1490's made rough drafts of a bicycle. They were found among Da Vinci's writings for the Italian government in 1966 by a group of monks. What is realized with these findings is that in the 1490's all the parts of a bicycle were available to inventors and the public. Inventors were thinking about how to use the parts as well, but didn't think about putting them together. There weren't many human powered vehicles before the 19th century because they weren't considered to be a sensible way of getting around. Back to Index ---- 1600's In 1649 a compass maker in Northern Europe by the name of Johann Hautsch made a carriage that went 2000 paces per hour stopping when you wanted to. He created his carriage to work like a clock since he was a compass maker. It was a little more like a motorcar than a bicycle. In 1680 Stephan Farffler created a tricycle to drive himself to church each Sunday. His tricycle was hand -cranked and was later turned into a quadricycle, a bicycle with four wheels. Back to Index ---- 1800-1819 In 1817 among the forests near central Germany a new kind of bike was created by Baron Karl von Drais. The bicycle was wooden with two wheels, a seat and handle bars. It was the fastest thing of its time with speeds of 10 miles per hour. The hard part about the bicycle was that it was without pedals. One would use their feet and push while the wheels rolled on the ground. Drais' machine was patented on the 12th of January 1818 in Baden. The new vehicle was called the "Draisiennes". The first demonstration of the Draisiennes was April 5, 1818. It went very poorly as a result of the shabby presentation made by the hired presenter. The Draisiennes were used for enjoyment just like the roller coster and ferris wheel. Also the bicycles were not ridden by the aristocrats. The machine was copied many times because it wasn't patented throughout all of Germany and France.

One of the reasons this bicycle succeeded was that Denis Johnson, the maker of this bicycle, had much better marketing skills than Baron Karl von Drais. That made the Dandy Horse easier to introduce to the public. The bicycle had bigger wheels which made for a more comfortable ride. The first modern day bicycle was made in 1839 by Kirkpatrick Macmillan, a blacksmith living in a village near Dumfries, Scotland. It was made to go 140 miles per hour in 1842. Back to Index For photos and more information, Click Here to go to the Bicycle Muesum of America. ---- 1860's The bicycle that was made by Kirkpatrick Macmillan was copied by Thomas McCall in 1860. They were used in many Glasgow races. Bikes with pedals and cranks were introduced in 1868-1869. In 1866 the first patent in the United States was taken out by James Carroll. Pierre Michaux and his son Ernest is credited with the creation of the bicycle pedal in 1861. In the late 1860's, the first rubber tires were used. On May 31, 1868 the first bicycle race was raced. It was over 2 kilometers, at the Pare de St. Cloud.The winner was James Moore. He rode a bicycle with solid rubber tires and ball bearings that made the bicycle go faster. Back to Index For photos and more information, click here to go to the Bicycle Muesum of America. ---- 1870's In 1870 James Starley made a bicycle with a large front wheel and a small back wheel. It was called the "penny-farthing" bicycle. The gear made the wheel turn two times per each revolution of the pedals. The front wheel was as high as the rider's leg length. The advantage was that there was more of a distance for each revolution which caused a more comfortable ride. The average bicycle weighed 45 pounds and a bicycle used for competition weighed 20 pounds. The problem with the penny-farthing (high bicycle) was that it was very dangerous because if the rider were to stop the rider could fall backwards. Also it was dangerous going down a hill. There was a lever that was operated by a spoon brake which could cause a fall and a special gear that made the wheel turn twice for each revolution. In 1882 having high front wheels was popular. The first bicycle with a chain was made in 1874 by H.J. Lawson. The bicycle was made up of two wheels the same size driven by a chain on the back wheel. It was called the safety bicycle. In 1878 the first bicycles in America were manufactured by A.A. Pope.

They sold bicycles and fixed old ones. When they decided to make the airplane, they used most of their knowledge from their bicycle career. Joining a bicycle club protected riders from the insults and stones thrown at bicyclists. In 1893 the design of the bicycle was changed to the modern diamond-pattern frame with a roller chain and pneumatic tired wheels. Back to Index For photos and more information, click here to go to the Bicycle Muesum of America. ---- 1900's In 1909 the first six day bicycle race was held in Berlin. In the 1930's Bicycles became more streamlined and more efficient. From 1900 through the 1950's there wasn't much enhancement on the bicycle because of the invention of the car. Bikes looked the same for almost 50 years with thick rubber tires, one gear, and metal frames. All throughout the 1970's and 1980's the Mountain bikes and BMX became popular.
