Website copyright conditions
Copyright also covers the content on websites
copyright information often shown in the 'conditions of use' or 'copyright statement'
Copyright statements might be attached as a footnote to electronically stored materials and school web pages.
Software piracy
involves the illegal copying of computer software.
Individuals borrowing CDs or software and putting it on their own computer
Professional criminals making copies in bulk and selling them through illegal outlets
End User License Agreement (EULA)
Purchaser does not 'own' the software but has purchased the right to use it
Single User
can only be loaded onto one machine
Multi User
bought for a certain number of users
Site license
bought for everyone on that that site or in an office to use the software.
Copyright issues
Technical solutions - giving each copy of the software a digital signature
Enforcement - taking court action against an individual or an organisation
Education - to alert people to the indirect costs that resulted from software piracy
Abandon copyright - software should be seen as 'public good'
Difficulties in prevention
many don't see it as a crime
privacy laws prevent investigation unless there is a suspicion
copying takes place in countries less regulated
