Hello kids. My name is Hei Mao and I am going to talk about what is copyright.

One way of being clear about this word is dividing into two: copy and right.

Now, could you tell me what copy and right are?

What do you understand for

copyright?

EXACTLY!!!Copy is imitate, reproduce or transcript of an original source. And right is something that is good, proper or just right conduct.

• Now that we know the meaning of those two words we can combine and find the definition out.

• Copyright is a protection over intellectual property on original works. For example, literary, dramatic, musical, and artistic works, such as poetry, novels, movies, songs, computer software, and architecture are protected under the Copyrights.

Now, lets copy this poem in our assignment

My Grandpa

I'll tell you a bit of my grandpa. I think he's a thousand years old. He must keep his hands in the freezer; I've never felt ice cubes that cold.

The hair growing off of his earlobes is more than the hair on his head. His eyes are all baggy and bloodshot. His nose is the same shade of red.

His voice is like rickety floorboards. It crackles and groans when he speaks. Whenever he bends down to hug me it sounds like his skeleton creaks.

He says that his memory is failing. He thinks that he's losing his mind. He's always misplacing his glasses; without them he's legally blind.

My mom says his hearing is normal. I kind of believe her, but then whenever I tell him "I love you," he asks me to say it again.--Kenn Nesbitt

WhoaaaAre you going

to copy the whole poem for

your assignment?

• I think it is not RIGHT to use all this poem even when it is for educational purposes.

• Probably you kids are questioning why that is not right. Well, this is why:

• - For motion media, 10%, or up to 3 minutes.• - For text material, 10% or up to 1000 words.• - For music, lyrics and so forth 10% but no more

than 30 seconds of an individual work

How much do you think we can use of that poem?

• That it is RIGHT!!! • 10% of the poem.• What if now we see the part that

caught my attention in that poem.• “His voice is like rickety floorboards.

It crackles and groans when he speaks”. Kenn Nesbitt

What can not be a Copyright

• Ideas and facts that are in public domain• Words, names and slogans• Government work• Administrative rulings• Works created by federal goverment

Okay kids, do not forget to use Copyright for all the material that you

use in the future.
