In the digital age, even the most savvy are having a tough time keeping current so as to avoid copyright infringement. Others simply assume, incorrectly, that anything you find on the Internet is free for the taking. And the line between what is protected and what is free isn’t always clear.

Even when it is clear, good luck trying to monitor illegal uses of your copyrighted material on the Internet. Electronic copyrighted information is easy to manipulate, reproduce and distribute. And the responsibility for policing copyrights lies with the producer of the copyrighted material.
