There are several types of plagiarism such as stealing the author's work word for word, but still citing, adding a word in to the information to "make it yours", or just copying and pasting directly from the author's work without citing at all. When citing, make sure to include all information necessary for the citation, such as the author's name and date the information was used.

Notes I took on Copyright and Fair Use.
Copyright is the protection of the work of an individual. Creator has right to choose if it can be recreated released performed showed. Also has power to make different version. Copyright covers many things including literary works, musical woks, movies, games, and art. Copyright doesn't cover title, names, ideas, facts, and concepts. Fair use is using a part of a media work without breaking it's copyright. Used for acts such as comments, criticism, research, etc. If something is not copyrighted, fair use does not #|apply. You can tell if something is copyrighted by use of the copyright symbol, but it wont always be used. Derivative work is a works which has major copyrighted parts of another work. The First Sale Doctrine allows people to borrow or sell a work but does not allow reproduction. Public Domain is the state of a work not copyrighted which is available to the public. Copyright infringement is the violation of copyright. This presentation is property of Trevor Ramsey, David Shenofsky, and Ben Potter. media type="custom" key="24866266"
