Intellectual Property-

What the creator of the work is allowed to do.

• To Make Copies of the work
• To produce derivate works, such as translation into other languages or movies based on books
• To distribute copies
• to perform the work in public
• to display the work in public

Problems from new technologies

• Storage of all sorts of information (text sound graphics) in standard digitized formats
• High-volume, relatively inexpressive Digital storage media, such as hard disks, CD-ROMs and DVDs (digital versatile dishes, also called digital video disks)
• character scanners and image scanners, which simplify converting printed text, photos, and artwork to digitized electronic form
• compression formats, such as MP3 and Div X, that make music and movie files small enough to download, coy and store
• the ease of copying digitized material and the fact that each copy is a perfect copy
• the ease of distributing digitized material over computer networks
• the World Wide Web which makes it easy to find and download material and
• peer-to-peer technology, which permits easy transfer of files by large numbers of strangers over the Internet without any centralized system or service

The fair use doctrine allows uses of copyrighted material that contribute to the creation of new work (such as reviews that quote part of a copyrighted material that work) and uses that are not likely to deprive authors or publisher of income of their work.

1. the purpose of nature of the use, including whether it is for commercial purposes or nonprofit educational purposes ( copyright for commercial purposes is less likely to be fair use.)
2. The nature of the copyrighted work( creative work has more protection that a factual work.)
3. the amount and significance of the portion used.
4. The effect of the use on the potential market for or values of the copyrighted work ( uses that educe sales of original work that less likely to be considered fair.)

Questions

6.6 Describe two technical means of protecting copyright of intellectual property on the web, and two management solutions.

Two technical means for protecting intellectual property on the web is the way that they set DVDs up so that you must have special software to copy the DVD onto your computer. Another thing that they do to protect intellectual property is that on software it has to be registered so that the company knows where the software is going.
