Forms of copyright infringement and protection methods

Abstract

At first, the concept of rights focused only on tangible objects. However, with the passage of time and the emergence of inventions, moral rights and rights related to innovations and literary works became recognized. These rights have come to be considered essential elements that are inseparable from the owner of the right, and are among the necessary aspects for the continuation of life, the development of societies, and their prosperity.

This right, which people came to acknowledge, grants the owner a special privilege that obliges others to respect it. It enables the owner to enjoy, protect, and develop it. In legal terminology, it means the recognition of ownership or authority.

There are various forms of infringement related to property, especially with regard to copyright, which is the main focus here. There are several definitions of the concept of "right": Regarding the legal protection of copyright, many universities offer administrative protection primarily focused on what is termed "plagiarism," a common form of infringement in academia. However, this understanding can be broadened by considering other types of copyright infringement as defined by legal scholars. Legally speaking, "courtesy in authorship" is not treated in the same way as plagiarism, although there is a consensus on the need to adhere to honesty and transparency when giving credit to others.
