Today we are going to spend some time talking about the ethical use of information. Information is everywhere…in books, magazines, newspapers and online. When you are doing a project, is is usually pretty easy to find information and incorporate it into the project, but the law says you must give credit to the source that provided you with the information.
The symbol itself can provide the reader with important information including who owns the copyright and the first year of publication. A person does not have to register their work with the Copyright Office for action to be taken against a person infringing on that work; however it will help. Copyright registration is a public record and puts other people on notice.
They can also give permission for others to do the same
Currently once a work is created it is protected until 70 years after the author has died. If there are co-authors, theafter the last surviving author passes away.
You can regard something as common knowledge if you find the same information undocumented in at least 5 credible sources or if you can find it easily in general reference sources.
