Q1 Copyright Laws Vocabulary
Key Vocabulary
Copyright: Copyright is the legal right to be the only one to reproduce, publish, and sell a book, musical recording, etc., for a certain period.
Creative Commons License: A Creative Commons license lets you dictate how others may use your work. The Creative Commons license allows you to keep your copyright. Still, it allows others to copy and distribute your work provided they give you credit and only on the conditions you specify.
Fair Use: Fair Use (in US copyright law) is the doctrine that brief excerpts of copyright material may, under certain circumstances, be quoted verbatim for purposes such as criticism, news reporting, teaching, and research, without the need for permission from or payment to the copyright holder.
Public Domain: Public Domain refers to materials belonging to or being available to the public as a whole, and therefore not subject to copyright.
