Confusion

Intellectual Property Intellectual property rights give creators exclusive rights to their creations, thereby providing an incentive for the author or inventor to develop and share the information rather than keep it secret. Intellectual Property Primer

Public Domain “ Those works that are either no longer protected by copyright or never were.” From Cornel University

Copyright Law Derived from specific language in the Constitution, U.S. copyright law exists to foster creativity and spur the distribution of new and original works. The law grants copyright holders, such as publishers, writers and other types of creators, the exclusive right to reproduce, perform, distribute, translate and publicly display their original works.

Copyright Protects: 1.Literary works 2.Musical works 3.Dramatic works 4.Pantomimed and choreographed works 5.Pictorial, graphic and sculpted works 6.Motion pictures and audiovisual works 7.Sound recordings

What’s Copyright?

Copyright  Concept emerged after invention of printing press, in the 1400s.  Originally intended to protect elite, censor information.  200 years later, shifted to protection of creators.  First US Copyright Act  Four revisions, last in 1976  Tends to be “self-correcting.”
