Practice Reading: Fill in the Blanks (Dropdown) ID: #5473 Copyright 2
Instructions
For  copyright  purposes,  a  literary,  dramatic,  musical  or  artistic  work  must  be  original  and  it  must  be  set  down  in  some    form,  for  example,  on  paper,  computer  disk,  or  on  audio  or  video  tape.  It  is  not  unusual  for  people  to  have  the  same  idea  at  roughly  the  same  time,  but  copyright  applies  in  the  way  an  idea  is  expressed,  not  in  the  idea  itself.  This  is  because  ideas  can  encompass  a  wide  range  of  concepts:  for  example,  thousands  of  books  and  films  have  the  same  basic    -  boy  meets  girl,  loses  girl,  gets  girl  back,  good  triumphs  over  evil,  and  so  on.  So  ideas,  as  opposed  to  the  way  in  which  they  are  expressed,  cannot  be  protected  under  copyright  law.  Perhaps  oddly,  statistical  lists  and  computer  programs  are  also    as  literary  works  and  therefore  come  under  copyright  law.
You  are  breaking  the  law  when  you  reproduce  the  whole  or  a  significant  part  of  someone  else's  creation  without  their  permission.  This  would  include,  for  example,  recording  a  CD  or  a  video,  putting  on  a  public    of  a  play,  making  photocopies,  or  copying  onto  a  computer  disk.  It  is  also  a  breach  of  the  law  to  key  copyright  material  into  a  computer  without  consent,  as  is  storing  it  on  the  computer  memory.  This  can  even  apply  to  a  small  part  of  a  work  if  the    is  considered  to  be  essential.
Infringement  of  copyright  can  be  both  a  criminal  act  and  a  civil  wrong.  However,  consumers  who  buy  illegally  copied  materials,  such  as  music  CDs  and  films  on  DVD,  for  private  use  cannot  be  prosecuted,  even  if  they  know  its  origin.
