What is Copyright Infringement
In many cases, copyrighted materials may be posted and shared without violating the copyright. Copyrights are violated when copyrighted work is shared, used, or modified without proper permission.
For users in the EU
Users in the EU may use copyrighted works without permission for the purposes of quotation, criticism, review, caricature, parody, or pastiche. For such uses, the work should:
- Be noticeably different from the original work.
- Be no longer than necessary.
- Acknowledge the source material.
- Not unreasonably harm the legitimate interests of the copyright holder.
What is Trademark Infringement
A trademark is anything that identifies and distinguishes the source of a product from its competitors. Trademark Infringement occurs when the trademark is used in a way that is likely to cause confusion or mistake about the source, sponsorship, or affiliation of the associated goods/services.
