Copyright+-+The+Issue

Why is Copyright so bad? Breaking copyright rights is wrong because it means that someone has ‘stolen’ someone else’s work and tried to either sell it for their own profit or downloaded it and passed it off as their own. The punishments for breaking copyright are very severe, and usually result in a large fine ranging between $30,000 for each work, to $150,000, and in the case of illegally downloading music, the case can be trial as either a civil or criminal case, and the punishments for each will be decided based on the situation. [] “The copyright symbol, designated by © (a circled "C"), is the symbol used to provide notice of copyright in works other than sound recordings (which are indicated with the ℗ symbol). The use of the symbol is described in United States copyright law, and, internationally, by the Universal Copyright Convention. The C stands for copyright.” []
