Ways to Control Piracy
Q1 .How can we identify plagiarism in a movie? How about software, images and book?
Ans-Movies:
 In movies we generally see a scene/concept/idea/story/music/acting/shot etc. are borrowed from previous movies and used either as a whole or part or modified.
 This can be homage, clever improvisation of the old to new. Simple lift, copy paste etc. Depending on the intention and talent of the plagiarizer.
 This will involve every field in movie making and this is a regular process of making movies.

Software:
 Did you know that software piracy is considered stealing? It is the same as shoplifting or burglary.
 The software user also runs a higher risk of viruses and fatal system crashes because of corrupted diskettes or defective software.
 Consumers also lose because they don't enjoy the full benefits of technical support, warranty protection, or product upgrade information.

Some of these terms and conditions prohibit:
1. Using multiple copies of a single software package on several computers
2. Passing out copies of software to others without the proper documentation (Not having a multiple site license for more than one computer)
3. Downloading or uploading pieces of software via bulletin boards for others to copy
4. Downloading and installing shareware without paying for it

Images:
 If you don't know the origin of images or have proof of purchase, suspect images should be removed.
 If you have permission to use images, specifically list this permission on a disclaimer.
 Purchase images from reputable sites.
 One should keep purchase records or written permission, in case of audit.

Many organizations use programs called "spiders" that search for images on the Web.
Many companies have legal divisions that find illegal images and demand payment for damages up to 10x the cost of licensing each image are likely unlicensed.
Book:

 Illegal reprint of the original book without proper permission.
 Unauthorized publishers

    Analyzing Films

    The development of film can be a process that is extensive and complex. Film analysis helps the viewer to understand what the director is trying to convey to the audience. To analyze a film successfully, it is important to understand how collaborative filmmaking really works. There are a number of elements that must work together not only to have a successful production but also to guide the audience through the story. Some such elements are the film’s narrative structure, colorization, director’s style, camera shot, and actor selection. While the actor is the most visible of the elements on screen; there are many craftsmen that perform behind the scene functions in order to get the finished product in front of a viewing audience. To really have a handle on how movies work, it is helpful to watch a number of films in different genres to understand the conventions of each. Knowing and understanding all of the technical elements of film can help the viewer to analyze the film more carefully. Furthermore, they may gain an emotional attachment to the film, and find some level of truth as they become more aware of what has taken place in order to bring it to life.…

    Copyright for graphic designersCopyright is the legal exclusive right of the author of a creative work to control the copying of the work or the making of works derived from the original. Some examples of creative works are visual works like illustrations, photographs, and graphic designs, written works like books, articles, music and plays, recorded works like music and movies, etc. Here is a link to more information than you'd ever need about copyright: http://www.answers.com/copyright&r=67The copyright owner, and only the copyright owner, controls the right to: • reproduce the work in copies • prepare derivative works based upon the work • distribute copies of the work by sale, rental, lease or lending • display or perform the work publiclyThe work must be in tangible form, i.e., written or recorded. Ideas or unrecorded speech (like something you say) is not copyrighted.Every creative work is automatically copyrighted the moment it is fixed in tangible form. There is no need to register it. The copyright symbol, year and person owning it may be put on the work, but it doesn't have to be to be protected.The copyright owner owns the copyright for his/her lifetime, and then his estate owns it for 70 years after his death. Generally speaking, works created more than 75 years ago and works created by the government are in the public domain.Scanning and using someone else's images in your work without permission is derivative, and is a copyright infringement in the following ways: • First, the act of scanning it violates the person's exclusive right to copy it. • Second, the act of putting it in your work violates the person's exclusive right to make works derived from the original. • Third, each time your derivative piece is printed or displayed, the person's exclusive right to distribute the work is violated.Just because artwork or photos are on the internet and easy to copy, doesn't mean you can copy and use them without permission.Moral of the story: • If you want…

This is a new epidemic that is affecting the film industry financially on a global level. What are the necessary steps that can be taken on behalf of the film industry that can stop this illegal practice from occurring?

    Software Piracy

    • 2161 Words
    • 9 Pages

    A Worldwide Problem Software piracy is defined as the illegal copying of software for commercial or personal gain. Software companies have tried many methods to prevent piracy, with varying degrees of success. Several agencies like the Software Publishers Association and the Business Software Alliance have been formed to combat both worldwide and domestic piracy. Software piracy is an unresolved, worldwide problem, costing millions of dollars in lost revenue. Software companies have used many different copy protection schemes. The most annoying form of copy protection is the use of a key disk. This type of copy protection requires the user to insert the original disk every time the program is run. It can be quite difficult to keep up with disks that are years old. The most common technique of copy protection requires the user to look up a word or phrase in the program's manual. This method is less annoying than other forms of copy protection, but it can be a nuisance having to locate the manual every time. Software pirates usually have no trouble "cracking" the program, which permanently removes the copy protection. After the invention of CD-ROM, which until lately was uncopyable, most software companies stopped placing copy protection in their programs. Instead, the companies are trying new methods of disc impression. 3M recently developed a new technology of disc impression which allows companies to imprint an image on the read side of a CD-ROM. This technology would not prevent pirates from copying the CD, but it would make a "bootleg" copy differ from the original and make the copy traceable by law enforcement officials (Estes 89). Sometimes, when a person uses a pirated program, there is a "virus" attached to the program. Viruses are self-replicating programs that, when activated, can damage a computer. These viruses are most commonly found on pirated computer games, placed there by some malignant computer programmer. In his January 1993…

    Using pirated software has got high legal implications to an institution such as a University, by having pirated software in the computer labs constitute a violation of the copyright and Intellectual Property Rights. Installing pirated software on University computers compromises the integrity of the University. The illegal use of software is sometimes misunderstood as some PCs end up with illegal software at repair shops. The legal implications of unauthorized software use should be clear to everyone who owns a computer. The Copyright Act deals with the illegal reproduction and use of the software and is subject to civil damages and criminal penalties. We as a faculty should be asking ourselves whether the concepts of honesty, trustworthiness, faithfulness, and integrity are consistent with the distribution of pirated software.…
