COPYRIGHT-The sole right to make copies and disperse someone’s writing, artistic creation, or music. This ownership is granted by law for a controlled number of years.

FAIR USE-The way a copyrighted material can be used by a third party without fearing the repercussions of legal prosecution or having to pay royalties.

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN COPYRIGHT AND FAIR USE: When a material is copyrighted the

creator of the material has all rights to determine the manner in which their creation is used. The creator has to grant permission for their material to be used and they also have the right to control the way that their product is used.

When a product is fair use that means the product can be used, with stipulations, by the parties that have produced the said product.

FAIR USE RULES FOR MEDIA: All forms of media including, but not limited to, print, music, video, photographs, and poetry can be reproduced without the written permission of the creator. The works can be copied, quoted, and re-used. This is not a positive part of the fair use rules, but with technology it is hard to prevent such practices from occurring.

PLAGIARISMUsing or imitating the exact words of a written work in such a way that there is little difference between the original work and the new work. This is done without permission or giving credit to the source from which it came.

HOW CAN PLAGIARISM BE AVOIDED? The given work can be paraphrased

The source can be cited

The author can give their written permission to use the material in question

PLAGIARISM RECOGNITION Teachers can use technology to find out

if a student has plagiarized by using software that searches the web for the duplicated work.

An example is: www.turnitin.com
