Appropriation Vs Fair Use

Fair use is the ability to use a small piece of someone's creative work without permission. One can claim fair use only if the work isn’t for commercial purposes, is for education criticism/commentary, news

These are complex questions about who has property rights in the picture of Tiger Woods. Let's first start with the individual contract Tiger Woods and General Mills has. If Tiger Woods and General Mills agree that General Mills has complete property rights of the picture, then General Mills, for the most part has complete rights as negotiated by the contract between the two parties. Any violation from this contract would be a breach of contract and could lead Tiger Woods to sue General Mills. An example would be General Mills posting the picture in a negative way that could be perceived as a defamation of character by Tiger Woods.

The second approach to copyright is the democratic approach. All works of art are ideas built on a foundation of other ideas. The democratic approach advocates that intellectual property belongs to the society and should be available for the general good of the public. If the particular usage is intended to derive financial benefit or any other business-related benefits, it is considered inappropriate usage. If the utilization of factual work were more usable than the use of someone’s creative work, then that would not be fair use. There is no specified edge to the amount of quoted work that can be called “fair use.” The courts exercise common sense to determine if it was too much. If the utilization of the material created market or stirred a competition, and if the fair use diminishes demand for the original product, it is not considered as appropriate use (Crews, 1993).

Jonathan Allen Lethem, a modern American essayists, writes the article in which he talks about how some artists see plagiarism as a wrong doing or stealing. Lethem disagrees with those artists’ point of view. He writes, “most artists are converted to art by art itself. Finding one’s voice isn’t just an emptying and purifying oneself of the words of others but an adopting and embracing of filiations, communities, and discourses” (Lethem 87). This means that there is an inspiration behind every artist’s work. The inspiration could come from something as simple as expanding another artists’ works. It is normal for an artist to be inspired by other artists, and then invents a work of art that is similar to his/her inspiration. For instance, Lethem gives an example of how South Park, the TV show, was inspired by Rankin/Bass and Charlie Brown Christmas specials. Most of the time, plagiarism could lead to a great work of creativity.

In part one of this paper I will be discussing fair use in detail. I will be covering why fair use is important, how fair use has developed over time, as well as the four factors in determining whether or not a piece of work qualifies under fair use.

Plagiarism is when you copy someone else’s work. It is also when you take credit for someone else’s work that is not yours. You can be fined for plagiarism. It is a felony. So don’t get caught plagiarizing.

The copyright in an email is determined by its content. Forwarding emails is generally not considered to be a breach of copyright, but, one should carefully consider the nature of the content of the email and whether it is appropriate to forward it, as other legal issues, such as privacy and confidentiality, also apply.

How long does the copyright on an original work last? It takes about 70 years for original work to last.

Presenting a mixture of their own and somebody else’s work in most definitely considered as plagiarising. As the person is using another persons work without acknowledging their source and claiming that work as their own, even if the copied percent of their work is minimal the individual can still be convinced of plagiarism.

Copyright and fair use can be hard to talk about because when you use a video with copyright songs you can't see it. Fair use belief that not all copying should be banned, particularly in socially important endeavors such as criticism, news reporting, teaching, and research. Although the doctrine of fair use was originally created by the judiciary, it is now set forth in the Copyright Act. Under the Act, four factors are to be considered in order to determine whether a specific action is to be considered a "fair use."

Plagiarism is prohibited. If you use too much of one source, it can be considered plagiarism. “Plagiarism and/or cheating will not be tolerated. Generally, plagiarism is the use of another’s work-including ideas, opinions, data, illustrative material or media without properly attributing and citing the source” (3). This isn’t fair to the student that put in all this work for you to come and copy the work, or to the people that wrote that book or website. You need to properly attribute and cite, give these people the credit they

Cultural appropriation is when someone adopts aspects of a culture that’s not their own. That's only the icing on the cake. It’s particularly a power dynamic in which members of a dominant culture take elements from a culture of people who have been systematically oppressed by that dominant group. Cultural appropriation is not the same as cultural appreciation, (when people share mutually with each other, because cultural exchange lacks that systemic power dynamic). When it comes to wearing fashion based on other cultures, it’s hard to know if you’re being tacky, cool, or offensive. Practicing appropriating culture let’s people show love for the culture,

What is cultural appropriation? It’s a term that has been used a lot in the past few years but also not enough. It’s lack of usage in everyday conversation leads to many misconceptions about what it really means. When you hear those words, you may think of angry social justice warriors who want to tell you want you can and cannot do. And while you have the right to do what you want, those “SJWs” have every right to be angry about appropriation. Though you may think we’re being “too sensitive” about what classifies as appropriation, it’s important that you know why we’re so upset over it. So, what is cultural appropriation?

A prevalent dispute on social media today is whether cultural appropriation exists or not. However, imagine a group of students discussing ideas for a school carnival. Person A shares their ideas, but because they are the quiet student no one agrees. Person B, the popular student, restate Person As ideas and everyone approves. Person B takes pride in their plagiarized work while Person A is not credited. This is the concept of cultural appropriation. As a society, we can avoid this type of exploitation by acknowledging that cultural appropriation exists.

i think that doing that is wrong unless it's for a good cause if it's not for a good cause don't do it it's stealing other people's work. so if you want to use something that someone already made it should be for a good cause and if it's not you should not.Because you doing something called
