Rights
of Copyright Owners and Licensing
The
Copyright Act of 1976 gives copyright owners five exclusive
rights. These rights are (1) only the copyright owner may
reproduce or make copies of the work; (2) only the copyright
owner may prepare adaptations of the work, such as preparing
a translation of a book originally written in English or preparing
a movie screenplay based on a novel; (3) only the copyright
owner may distribute copies of the work to the public; (4)
the copyright owner has the exclusive right to perform the
work in the public; and (5) only the copyright owner may display
the work in public.
Infringement
An
infringement of a copyright is the reproduction, distribution,
performance, or display of any copyrighted work without permission
of the copyright owner or without a compulsory license. Copyright
infringements are usually dealt with in civil lawsuits in federal
court. The law provides several remedies to copyright owners
who prove infringement against their own work. In such a case,
the court may order an injunction against future infringement,
which requires the infringing party to refrain from committing
further violations of the copyright. The court may also order
the destruction of infringing copies; reimbursement for any
financial loss suffered by the copyright owner; transfer of
profits made from the sale of infringing copies; and payment
of specific damages, plus court costs and attorney's fees. If
the infringement was intentional, the infringing party can be
subject to criminal penalties as well, which include fines and
possible imprisonment.
