Infringement or fair use: Knowing the difference

Infringement or fair use: Knowing the difference | consumer psychology | Scoop.it

"Copyright is complicated, particularly in the music industry ..."

Tykee Sanders's curator insight, November 17, 2019 10:25 PM
I actually chose this article because I believe it is extremely important for individuals, and groups, to know the difference when it comes to infringement. A lot of people are not fully aware of all the rules and regulations that are behind it. Knowing that will not only help people keep their works honest, but it will also avoid court cases and disputes, information is power. This source of information seems very reliable. The website has social media links, as well as, an area for other members of the website to comment. The information was well organized, and there were not any ads that would have someone go to suspicious websites. I definitely believe that professionals can comfortably obtain information from this website. The information provided can all be traced back to true and relevant information.
