Copyright

Start with the basics

The mind map Copyright basics and fair use is a starting point for exploring the types of works covered by copyright. It lists literary, dramatic, musical, artistic and photographic works, as well as works that may contain other works with separate protection. Use the map to organize these categories before moving on to questions about ownership and infringement.

For a broader view, the Intellectual Property mind map places copyright alongside other intellectual property material. It gives you a way to see how this topic fits within the unit Intellectual Property: General in Law (general and introduction).

Explore questions and rights

Next, look at Copyright (CDPA 1988). This map is organized around questions about whether a work is protected, whether it remains within the protection period and whether copyright has been infringed. It also lists primary and secondary infringement and defenses. Follow those questions in order, then return to the basics map if you want to check the types of work discussed.

The Intellectual Property Rights flashcards cover types of protected work, ownership, owners’ rights and duration. A Copyright flashcard deck also covers contributor and photo copyright, moral rights and remedies for breach. For a closer look at moral rights, the Concept of Treatment (Moral Right of Integrity) mind map focuses on integrity and derogatory treatment.

Use maps and quizzes together

After studying a map, try the copyright quiz and use its questions to identify material you want to look at again. Return to the relevant map or flashcards and compare the terms used there. The resources were made by GoConqr users, so their approaches and coverage can differ.

Pick a map, then try the quiz alongside it.
