| | Copyright - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Copyrights are generally enforced by the holder in a civil law court, but there are also criminal infringement statutes. | | | Once the term of a copyright has expired, the formerly copyrighted work enters the public domain and may be freely used or exploited by anyone, as courts in the United States and the United Kingdom have rejected the doctrine of a common law copyright. | | | A copyright notice is no longer required for a work to be covered by copyright in jurisdictions which have acceded to the Berne Convention. |

| | Copyright Infringement [NYS-STLC] |
| | Anyone who violates any of the exclusive rights of the copyright owner, as provided by 17 USC §106, or of the author as provided in §106A, or who imports copies or phonorecords into the United States in violation of §602, is an infringer of the copyright or right of the author, as the case may be. | | | Most copyright cases charge that the defendant is infringing one of the rights enumerated by §106 and not a violation of §106A. This is true because §106A deals only with a very limited moral right and is usually not applicable, at least in the United States. | | | When a copyright owner claims that someone has committed copyright infringement it is necessary for the copyright owner to prove two things. |

| | Information Outlook: Criminal copyright infringement |
| | The burden of proof for copyright infringement in a civil suit is "preponderance of the evidence," while for criminal copyright infringement it is "beyond a reasonable doubt." For civil remedies, it is the copyright owner who brings suits; for criminal penalties, it is the federal prosecutor who litigates the case. | | | Most copyright litigation is civil in nature--a court finds that a defendant has infringed and orders the defendant to pay either statutory damages or actual damages and profits. | | | Criminal copyright infringement laws exist to punish infringers who misappropriate copyrighted works that an "author" invested time, creativity, energy, and money to create but lacks the means to protect from such infringement. |

| | NII - Part I: Law - Copyright Infringement |
| | Anyone who, without the authorization of the copyright owner, exercises any of the exclusive rights of a copyright owner, as granted and limited by the Copyright Act, is an infringer of copyright. | | | Copyright infringement is determined without regard to the intent or the state of mind of the infringer; "innocent" infringement is infringement nonetheless. | | | A copyrighted photograph, for instance, can be manipulated in the user's computer in such a way that the resulting work is not substantially similar to the copyrighted work (in fact, it may bear little or no resemblance to the copyrighted work upon which it was based). |

| | Copyright Infringement by Alan Korn |
| | To establish copyright infringement in a court of law, a copyright owner must establish proof copyright ownership and proof of copying. | | | A copyright is violated when someone copies, distributes, performs or displays all or part of a copyright work without the permission of the copyright owner. | | | The statute of limitations for copyright infringement is three years for both civil and criminal lawsuits. |

| | The court held that Netcom was not liable for vicarious copyright infringement. | | | An individual is liable for contributory copyright liability when, “with knowledge of the infringing activity, (the party) induces, causes or materially contributes to the infringing conduct of another.” [138] The court held that Hardenburgh clearly had satisfied the requirements for a finding of contributory copyright infringement. | | | After dismissing the claim for direct copyright infringement, the court stated that Netcom was similar to the owner of a public copier machine and therefore its liability should be analyzed under the category of secondary copyright infringement. |
