2. What is copyright? (Murmu, 2013) The author owns the work as soon as it is physically created unless… the author works for an employer (The Campus Guide to Copyright Compliance, n.d.). In that case, the employer owns the work (The Campus Guide to Copyright Compliance, n.d.).

3. What is the duration of copyright (Baum, 2006) On or after January 1, 1978: Typically under protection from creation until 70 years after the death of the creator (The Campus Guide to Copyright Compliance, n.d.) For works made for hire, anonymous works and pseudonymous works: 95 years from publication OR 120 from creation (whichever is shorter) (The Campus Guide to Copyright Compliance, n.d.) For works created, published or registered before January 1, 1978: Refer to the public domain Renewal or extension of copyright may be requested (The Campus Guide to Copyright Compliance, n.d.)

4. Four Categories of the Public Domain: 1.Generic information. 2.Works that have not had renewed copyrights. 3.Any work published before March 1989 that did not include a notice of copyright. 4.U.S. Federal Government works. (The Campus Guide to Copyright Compliance, n.d.) The Public Domain includes: Works that were never copyrighted Works that are no longer copyrighted (The Campus Guide to Copyright Compliance, n.d.) Any work published before 1923 is in the public domain. (The Campus Guide to Copyright Compliance, n.d.) Works created after 1989 are assumed to be under copyright law unless they were created by the U.S. Federal Government. (The Campus Guide to Copyright Compliance, n.d.) (Relay Room, n.d.)

5. Penalties of Copyright Infringement Without the permission of the copyright holder, no one can republish or redistribute the work (The Campus Guide to Copyright Compliance, n.d.). Copyright holder can sue for attorney’s fees and a range of $250 to $150,000 (The Campus Guide to Copyright Compliance, n.d.). Ignoring copyright law “willfully” renders worse penalties (The Campus Guide to Copyright Compliance, n.d.). Copying a work for profit brings a one year jail sentence and fines, if the value of the work is over $1,000 (The Campus Guide to Copyright Compliance, n.d.). Copying a work for profit brings a five year jail sentence and fines, if the value of the work is over $2,500 (The Campus Guide to Copyright Compliance, n.d.). (Tatum & Harris, 2014)
