Is it possible to use a copyright-protected work without infringing?

Yes, in some circumstances, it is possible to use a copyright-protected work without infringing the owner’s copyright. For more information about this, you may wish to learn about Fair Use. It is important to note that certain content can be removed from SAMBAR website in response to a claim of copyright infringement, even if you have…

• Given credit to the copyright owner
• Refrained from monetizing the infringing content
• Charged for a copy of the content in question
• Noticed similar content that appears elsewhere on the internet
• Purchased the content including a hard or digital copy
• Recorded the content yourself from TV, a movie theater, or the radio
• Copied the content yourself from a textbook, a movie poster or photograph

What is the difference between copyright and trademark? What about patents?

Copyright is just one form of intellectual property. It is not the same as a trademark, which protects brand names, mottos, logos, and other source identifiers from being used by others for certain purposes. It is also different from patent law, which protects inventions.
