Copyright is important because it protects
the interests of those who design, create, produce and display,
goods, art and any other material on the Internet or by any other
means and also for those who invest in the creativity of such
products and services.
If copyright did not exist, it would be impossible for artists
and designers to make a living from their creativity.
It would be impossible to fund the making of a film, to publish
a book, or to produce a record.
Investors would therefore be unable to obtain a return on their
investment.
Copying material has become easier since the inception of the
Internet.
It is therefore vital that all users respect all copyright in
order to provide a safeguard against the illegal use of media
throughout the Internet World.
