There are three main moral rights of the copy right laws, these are the right of attribution which means creator of a work has the right to be identified as such.
The right of integrity which means the owners work may not be altered or changed without consent.
The false attribution rule means no one can create a copyright product and attribute it to you.
Although prior to the internet days the copyright law was rarely needed to be enforced as copying books and other media products took so long it wasn’t worth doing.
However online movies and other products can be downloaded in a matter of minutes meaning a lot of products are being stolen.
Some people are against the copyright laws claiming that you can’t own culture and that people should be allowed to use other peoples products.
The Creative Commons (CC) is an organisation dedicated to pointing out which products have been given prior consent to be used by others for certain purposes which the original owner of the product has licensed it for, for example one owner may allow his work to be used for education purposes using (CC) while another may allow anyone to edit their work and do as they please.
