How might you break the rues of copyrighting?
You commit an infringement under copyright law any time you use, without permission, someone elses protected work, providing that your useage does not qualify as "fair use" or another exception under current copyright law (i.e. right of first sale, etc)
Is it legal to install a program on your work and home computer?
It depends. Usually you are free to download anything to your computer you want. If your employer has restrictions to downloads, and you do anyway, then that isn't illegal, but is against company policy. If the program has a copyright and is for sale, and you download it and use it without purchasing the software, then you are in violation of federal law. There are stiff penalties and fines for copyright infringement.
Does sale of a photo carry the copyright with it?
No; the creator retains the copyright unless other arrangements are made.
How am I infringing on copyright laws if I'm selling an item on eBay?
If what you're offering to sell on eBay (or anywhere else) is an unlawfully made copy of copyrighted materials, then offering to sell it is an infringement of the copyright owner's exclusive right to sell copies to the public. The so-called "first sale doctrine" (e.g., in the USA, 17 USC 109) does not apply to illegal copies.
Where can you find financial data on music industry copyright infringement?
Lobbying groups have a great deal of this type of information, but it assumes every downloaded song is a lost sale, which has proven to be a false assumption. That being said, a link to RIAA is below (scroll down to "What is the scope of the problem").
What constitutes copyright infringement when it comes to fairy tale inspired artwork?
Copyright protects the expression of an idea, not the idea itself. Copyright protects original works of authorship including literary, dramatic, musical, and artistic works, such as artwork, sculptures, poetry, novels, movies, songs, computer software, and architecture. Copyright does not protect facts, ideas, systems, or methods of operation, although it may protect the way these things are expressed.Copyright is a bundle of exclusive rights. Section 106 of the copyright law provides the owner of copyright in a work the exclusive right:To reproduce the work in copies;To prepare derivative works based upon the work;To distribute copies of the work to the public by sale or other transfer of ownership, or by rental, lease, or lending;To perform the work publicly;To display the copyrighted work publiclyIn the case of sound recordings, to perform the work publicly by means of a digital audio transmission.Section 501 of the copyright law states that "anyone who violates any of the exclusive rights of the copyright owner ...is an infringer of the copyright or right of the author."Generally, under the law, one who engages in any of these activities without obtaining the copyright owner's permission may be liable for infringement. Nevertheless, there are several limitations of the exclusive rights of the copyright owner. The copyright law provides exemptions from infringement liability by authorizing certain uses under particularized circumstances. These exemptions are enumerated generally in sections 107-122 of the copyright law.Word to the wise - pay the nominal $35 fee, and register your work with the Library of Congress. Obtaining a federal registration of copyright affords the registered copyright holder protection for the registered work for the life of the artist plus 75 years. Registration removes the requirement that the copyright holder prove monetary damages. The successful copyright holder can obtain damages of "not less than $750 or more than $30,000" or, in the case where the copyright holder successfully proves the infringement was willful, "the court in its discretion may increase the award of statutory damages to a sum of not more than $150,000" per infringement.
Is it an infringement of copyright to recycle pages of a magazine by using the pages to wrap soap for selling?
No; this should be covered by the "first sale doctrine." It would be infringing to scan a given page and print thousands of them to wrap a product, and it may be a trademark issue if the page in question includes a soap ad that could be considered misleading.
Where can I find hair extensions for sale?
Ask your local hair dresser for recommendations, as I am assuming he or she will have to weave or glue them in. When looking for extensions, make sure you buy them a little long, in a similar colour and touch them to make sure they feel similar to human hair.
Does the first sale doctrine of copyright law apply to skin care products that were bought legally?
Copyright law wouldn't apply to a skin care product, as it is not a creative work.
You have an idea using vintage album lp jackets - product is incorporated into another functional piece any problems with reselling?
Depending upon your "idea", you may need an official opinion of law from a competent Copyright Attorney because there may be specific facts or circumstances involved in your plans that could provide a solid defense to copyright infringement. Merely attaching old LP jackets to something "functional" would probably not violate the copyright owner's exclusive rights of sale and publication, as such rights were substantially limited once the original was purchased (the first-sale doctrine). However, a new "arrangement, compilation or adaptation" of the works could be a copyright infringement. (National Geographic, 1939.) Similarly, cutting out pages of a book, or buying photographic notecards, and reselling them mounted to ceramic tiles have both been found to violate copyright. (Mirage Editions v. Albuquerque A.R.T., and Munoz v. Albuquerque A.R.T., 1988 and 1993, respectively). Consider that non-functional aspects of, say, a sculpture of printed works could also be copyrightable, or even "derivative" and thus potentially infringing. In other words, the "transformative nature" of your re-use of copyrighted works may direct the legal analysis.
Is it legal to copy parts of one movie to make another?
