The issue of copyright law has long been a disputed topic. While many people know vaguely what the laws are, they are very complex. According to the document “Copyright Basics” from the United States’ Copyright Office’s website Copyright laws “give the owner of copyright the exclusive right to do and to authorize others to do the following:
1) To produce the work in copies or phonorecords.
2) To prepare derivative works based upon the work.
3) To distribute copies or phonorecords of the work to the public by sale or other transfer of ownership, or by rental, lease, or lending.
4) To perform the work publicly, in the case of literary, musical, dramatic, and choreographic works, pantomimes, and motion pictures and other audiovisual works.
5) To display the work publicly, in the case of literary, musical, dramatic, and choreographic works, pantomimes, and pictorial, graphic, or sculptural works, including the individual images of a motion picture or other audiovisual work.
6) In the case of sound recordings, to perform the work publicly by means of a digital audio transmission.”
