Understanding Copyright

When you download an image or video from the Internet, do you check its copyright status? While many works on the Internet are available for public use, there are some that require you to get permission from the author. If you don’t comply with the author’s requirements, then you may be at risk of a copyright violation. The first step to avoiding a copyright violation is to understand the copyright law.
