Copyright Law And Plagiarism Policy
(Jyothi Prabha)
Copyright Law: is the legal right granted to an author, composer, playwright, publisher or distributor to exclusive publication, production, sale or distribution of a literary, musical, dramatic or artistic work. A Copyright protects the work from being copied, reprinted, sold or used by someone else without the consent of the owner of the work. Under the law, a work is considered copyrighted immediately upon creation and need not be published or registered in order to be considered copyrighted. However registration does offer certain advantages for e.g, if the registration is made within three months after publication (or prior to an infringement) statutory damages and attorney fees will be available to the copyright owner. It is important to note that copyrighting protects the expression of an idea but not the idea itself. Also, names, titles, system and methods cannot be copyrighted. Plagiarism Policy: According to Diana Hacker ?Three acts of Plagiarism are failing to cite quotations and borrowed ideas, failing to enclose borrowed language in quotation mark and failing to put summaries and paraphrases in your own work.? Although Plagiarism is often loosely referred to as ?theft? or ?stealing?, according to Stuart Green it has not been prosecuted. Instead, acts that constitute plagiarism are in some instances treated as copyright infringement, unfair competition or a violation of the doctrine of moral rights. More often, charges of plagiarism are resolved through disciplinary proceedings. According to some academic ethics, codes and criminal laws, a complaint of plagiarism may be initiated or proven by any person. The person originating the complaint need not be the owner of the plagiarized content, nor need there be communication from a content owner directing that an investigation or disciplinary be conducted. Scholars opine that though the internet is said to have increased plagiarism, it can also be used to combat plagiarism. Search engines are used to check the papers for plagiarism. -------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Abstract by : J Prabha
