Eps 65 - Understanding Copyright Infringement: What Happens When You Cross the Line
In this episode of Hourly to Exit, we delve into the topic of copyright infringement. Copyright infringement occurs when someone violates the exclusive rights of a copyright owner. These exclusive rights include the right of reproduction, adaptation, distribution, public performance, public display, and translation.
The penalties for copyright infringement can vary, ranging from embarrassing situations that require apologies and cleanup, to more serious legal consequences. In the worst cases, copyright infringers can be criminally prosecuted.
This episode is the first of a three-part series covering copyright infringement. In part one, we discuss the remedies and penalties that apply when a copyright is infringed. Part two focuses on how to avoid being a copyright infringer. Part three explores ways to prevent your own copyrights from being infringed.
