	SingaporeMoms - Parenting Encyclopedia - Copyright
		A copyright is a form of intellectual property which secures to its holder the exclusive right to produce copies of his or her works of original expression, such as a literary work, movie, musical work or sound recording, painting, computer program, or industrial design, for a defined, yet extendable, period of time.
		After the term is up, the copyrighted work enters the public domain and is available for anyone to freely use, as courts in the United States and the United Kingdom have rejected the doctrine of a common law copyright.
		Copyrighted works replicated onto digital media are easily and trivially copied via file sharing, and those who do this routinely break copyright laws hundreds or thousands of times, typically with minimal thought or concern.

		Under the Performances and Phonograms Treaty, a performer may, as far as is reasonably applicable, claim to be identified as the performer of his performances, and may object to any distortion, mutilation or other modification of his performances that would be prejudicial to his reputation.

		Abandonment requires that the copyright holder intend to abandon the copyright, and generally requires an unambiguous statement or overt act on the part of the copyright holder that indicates his or her intent to dedicate the work to the public domain.
		Copyrights secured in the period 1919 through 1949 continue to exist only if they were renewed, and expire in the period 1994 through 2024.
		That's because copyright isn't available for facts themselves, and the courts recognize that it's kind of dumb to force someone with a newspaper clipping to completely rewrite it to avoid infringement (besides, a paraphrase is still an infringement, because it qualifies as creating a derivative work, even if it's not a direct copy).
