Today we learnt about copyright and what it is. we were taught that we cannont just take an image from the internet and put it in our work without citing where it's from. This helped us and prevented us from going to JAIL!!!!

COPYRIGHT!!!!

What is a copyright?
Copyright is defined as the exclusive right of a creator to reproduce, prepare derivative works, distribute, perform, display, sell, lend or rent their creations.
What is the purpose of a copyright?
The copyright law is present to prevent people from stealing others work and call it their own

Can images have a copyright? Explain your answer.
Yes, there is no difference between a picture and a text. The creator of the image has an exclusive right to use his image.


Are there any images that do not have a copyright? Explain.
No, because whatever someone created belongs exclusively to them. Therefore using his image an considering it your own is illegal.



Search for 2 websites where that have free use images. Write the URL and we will compile a list for class use.
