Copyright and Plagarism

Copyright is where you have legal rights over something and no-one is allowed to copy or take your idea without permission. If so you will get done for plagiarism, as this is illegal. The copyright law also known as ‘Copyright Act 1976’ makes it illegal for anyone to take the persons info or anything, without the owners say so. With films and music available to download over the internet, it has become very easy to steal stuff that has been copyrighted, without even being caught. Many websites allow people to use a torrent downloader to retrieve these files for example programs like Utorrent and Vuze. To do so you have to download the torrent and open it, when opened it will go straight into one of these (depending which one you downloaded) and it will  start to download. Another way of plagiarism is people copying and pasting work off the internet and submitting it as their own. Quoting there source information is fine as long as you do not try to bypass it as your own.
