What is copyright? How do we know?

Copyright is some piece of work that has been created and can not be duplicated by someone else and be sold as their own work. To check if we can use the material, we first need to know what we are using it for. Are we using it for research, is it educational, and is the work we are using copyrighted already.

Cover Letter

 A cover letter is a paper that has your credentials, accomplishments, and past work places. It goes on top of your resume and just explains what you are looking to do in the business and how you can contribute to the business and make it a better than it has been before. It is sort of an over view of your resume, that is to the point and not as lengthy as your resume.

Copyright Infringement

The case I found and read about was the Righthaven LLC vs. Las Vegas-Journal and the Denver Post. Righthaven is saying that the Las Vegas and Denver Post displayed on their websites material from his Realty One business newspapers without asking for authorization from Righthaven. In October, the litigation was put back when the U.S District Judge Larry Hicks in Reno, because he  dismissed Las Vegas- Journal from the lawsuit. Then on Feb.8 the clerk of the court said that he/she would enter judgement in favor of all three of the people involved with the lawsuit. The lawsuit then again has been postponed until further investigation of the copyright infringement. The scheduled date has been set for early october and the case should be closed.

What I have learned about copyright

What I have learned about copyright for desktop publishing, is that you have to reword what you create if it is someone else's. Otherwise you can become sued for using someone else's work and claiming it as your own.
 I have used Word for writing papers, such as essays, biography's, and other school related topics. But have not used it for much more than that. I think I will have a lot of learning to do and hope it will enlighten me about how to use it correctly.

Public Domain.

Public Domain includes songs, books, movies, legislation and much more, that can be used by others freely. In 1923 anything that was published for the people was public domain. But then in 1976, they

passed the Copyright Act, which gave anything created protection from copyright. Making a big task because the rules always changed for public domain. Right now The Center for the Public Domain is trying to protect public domain and its future ahead.

Copyright

What I believe copyright is, is whatever someone else has come up with in writing is off filaments. Meaning that you may not copy anything they have written without rewording it in your own way. If you do not reword it and write it off as your own, you can get arrested and put in jail.

What I have learned.

What I have learned from these projects so far, is you have to catch people's eyes and get them to notice your business or product. I have also learned that you have to be confident in what your selling. Because if your not, customers won't want to buy your product because they see that your not confident in what you are selling.
