What is Copyright?

             Copyright is an illegal action of downloading music or taking information off the internet and not crediting the creator of the music or info. Copyright is legal if the site is credited and the information is put in your own words, rather than just copy and pasting the information. Another form of copyright is free downloading music. By doing this you are not giving credit or money to the original creator, but you are also putting yourself at risk if it is a peer to peer download. These types of downloads can contain, and usually will contain, many viruses. You can even copyright ideas and art by using the work as your own without crediting the original inventor.
