Copyright Law- Extra post!

What is copyright? You cannot copyright an idea. It is not ethical to copy ideas because we are a free society democracy. There must be a long enough amount of time, so that the author has time to make money for their work.


What can be copyrighted? books, music, dance, movies, pics...................and..... MORE!

Fair Use? It doesn't change original works.



Is this copyrighted?? ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

How does this relate to Public Relations?

I am a public relations major and being cautious about copyright and ethics is extremely important in the field. Every document created by a PR major is to be truthful, in order to create trust between the organization and the consumers, as well as between the PR practitioner and the organization. There is a misconception of PR and that all it does is "coverup" the truth, but we are taught in school to always be ethical.
