Common Copyright Myths

With the Internet, many folks think that copyright laws no longer exist. However, you still need to remember a few things:

A work doesn't have to carry a copyright mark to be copyrighted.

Movement from document to digital (scanning a page in a book, for example) does not "cancel" a copyright.

The source where you obtained the work is immaterial. Taking an image from a newsgroup or Web site doesn't make it legal.

No such thing as a "blanket" copyright exists. Permissions must be individually obtained for each work, each time you want to use the work.

Changing an original doesn't change the copyright. You may tweak the Mona Lisa in Photoshop, but the copyright still doesn't belong to you.

The above Copyright info from DummiesDaily.com

What Is Copyright Protection?

The Digital Millennium Copyright Act 1998
