Many students think that copyright is something that happens
to other people. Someone writes a book or a song and puts
a copyright symbol on it. Yet there is more to copyright.
Copyright is something that affects you every time you step
into the classroom, the library, or the school newspaper office.
Copyright is something that you own, too. Each time you express
a new idea in a paper, an art project, or a multimedia presentation,
you are copyrighting that work. It happens automatically,
without a government stamp or a fee.
This portion of Washburn University's Copyright Site is dedicated
to students and how copyright affects your lives. Here you
can read:
- HEADLINES: How students have infringed on copyright
and paid the price!
- BYLINES: Where students have done great things
that are protected by copyright.
- GUIDELINES: What every student needs to know about
copyright in research, fair use, computers, and other areas.
We hope this information will prove useful to students who
have copyright concerns. For those who still have questions,
please feel free to contact the Copyright Committee at copyright@washburn.edu
