"Copyright is a legal concept, enacted by most governments, giving the creator of an original work exclusive rights to it, usually for a limited time".
This means that it is illegal to use or copy work that has been copyrighted without the creator's/licence holder's permission.
Games and TV shows are often downloaded and/or streamed on to computers. Sites like www.thepiratebay.com and www.sockshare.com are 2 sites that both stream and have downloadable content on them.
Creative Commons is a website that plays host to lots of types of creative media. The website negates the effect of copyright as everything on the site has no copyright laws and is designed for the general public to use. Creative Commons allows designers to share their ideas with other people around the world. www.creativecommons.org
I have to consider copyright when I do my graphic design project, all the different copyright laws, especially if I use anything I find on the internet. I must create all the designs I use on photoshop or illustrator etc. as nothing should be taken and it should all be my own work.
