Copyright Infringement

Copyright infringement is something that any reasonable person wants to avoid because it can have serious personal and financial consequences.

There are copyright laws in countries around the world that grant certain exclusive rights to the creators of original works. In the United States those exclusive rights include the right to reproduce the copyrighted work, to distribute copies of the copyrighted work, and to make derivative works based on the copyrighted work. (See more.) Simply put, if someone includes content created by someone else without first getting permission to do so, they may be guilty of copyright infringement.

In the US individuals can be taken to federal court for copyright infringement by the copyright holder of the content they may have infringed. If found guilty of knowingly committing copyright infringement, they could face statutory damages of up to $150,000. They also may have to pay court costs and attorney fees sustained by the rights holder who took them to court.
