Response
Internet is a well of
information but not everyone is allowed to drink from a stream or gush from a
certain springs because of copyright infringement and the intellectual
property.
We often come across some
material and from time to time we took some of these materials as quotations
without paying attentions to copyright infringement even in our good intention
in attributing the right of these materials to its copyrights holder.
The Question arise what is
copyright infringement?
Canada laws regarding
copyright infringement?
“The Copyright Act of
Canada is the federal statute governing copyright law in Canada. The
Copyright Act of Canada was first passed in 1921 and substantially amended in
1988 and 1997. Several attempts were made between 2005 and 2011 to amend the
Copyright Act, but each of the bills (Bill C-60 in
2005, Bill C-61 in
2008, and Bill C-32 in
2010) failed to pass due to political opposition. In 2011, with a majority in
the House of Commons, the Conservative Party introduced Bill
C-11, titled the Copyright Modernization Act. Bill C-11 was passed and received
Royal
Assent on June 29, 2012”
I will state some of the
rights:
“Provisions of the
Copyright Act of Canada
Rights granted
Copyright grants the sole and exclusive right
to create and recreate a work whether wholly or substantially. It also includes
the sole rights to:
- publish the work if unpublished
- perform the work in public
- to produce, reproduce, perform or publish any translation of the work,
- in the case of a dramatic work, to convert it into a novel or other non-dramatic work,
- in the case of a novel or other non-dramatic work, or of an artistic work, to convert it into a dramatic work, by way of performance in public or otherwise,
- in the case of a literary, dramatic or musical work, to make any sound recording, cinematograph film or other contrivance by means of which the work may be mechanically reproduced or performed,
- in the case of any literary, dramatic, musical or artistic work, to reproduce, adapt and publicly present the work as a cinematographic work,
- in the case of any literary, dramatic, musical or artistic work, to communicate the work to the public by telecommunication,
- to present at a public exhibition, for a purpose other than sale or hire, an artistic work created after June 7, 1988, other than a map, chart or plan,
- in the case of a computer program that can be reproduced in the ordinary course of its use, other than by a reproduction during its execution in conjunction with a machine, device or computer, to rent out the computer program, and
- in the case of a musical work, to rent out a sound recording in which the work is embodied,and to authorize any such acts.[12]”
I think a lot of good work done with Canadian
copyright infringements.
US laws state
As a general matter, copyright infringement occurs when a copyrighted work is reproduced, distributed, performed, publicly displayed, or made into a derivative work without the permission of the copyright owner.”
United
Nations through the WIBO (World Intellectual Property Organization in
Geneva) subsidiary define copyright in the following manners:
"Copyright and related
rights are legal concepts and instruments which, while respecting and
protecting the rights of creators in their works, also contribute to the
cultural and economic development of nations. Copyright law fulfills a decisive
role in articulating the contributions and rights of the different stakeholders
taking part in the cultural industries and the relation between them and the
public.
"WIPO, through its Copyright and Related Rights Sector, is committed to that crucial role."
"WIPO, through its Copyright and Related Rights Sector, is committed to that crucial role."
In such treaty, the United
Nations treaty different aspects of copyrights concerns are elaborated:
Scope of Copyright
Protection
Copyright protection extends to expressions
and not to ideas, procedures, methods of operation or mathematical concepts as
such.

While copyright and
intellectual property are a major concerns for huge numbers of people, private
and public sectors to protect their investments and source of living we are
faced by opposed arguments and great opposition [2]
that web information should be open for the public on the alibi of humanity
progress and share of knowledge while I found great numbers of those people are
abusing such information and exploiting it to their own benefit.
That was my response to the
person who gave himself the right to wirelessly exploit his neighbour internet
connection and banned him from his right to get the service he paid for.
That why I’m supporting the
AT&T for its act. In this sense, they have the right to punish such
parasitical comportment.
This was a responds with
AT&T act, and to the above rascal, and scamp
comportment that abuse his neighbour connection and want to ban him from
internet.
That was about copyright infringements but what about intellectual property and
exploiting and abusing such intellectuality. I always learned from my
Professors that Ideas what counts?
In addition while walking
in the PALACE OF JUSTICE I found a heavy book on a desk in one of the court
room with the title
“Intellectual Property how
laws protecting it”, or the like. That will be my next topic on how these
intellectual properties are being broken by many aspects, and mainly by spying
and key
logger. .
