Copyright
Copyright se define como el derecho legal exclusivo dado al autor o representante asignado
para imprimir, publicar, grabar, o llevar a cabo material artstico, literario o musical.
Fundamentalmente, Copyright es una ley que te hace dueo de las cosas que creas, ya sea una
pintura, una fotografa, un poema o novela. Si lo creas, es tuyo, y es esta ley la que te provee los
derechos de autor. Estos derechos de exclusividad incluyen:
El derecho a reproducir el trabajo
El derecho a crear trabajos derivados de este
El derecho a distribuir copias
El derecho a exhibir la obra pblicamente
Estos derechos son exclusivos a menos que decidas renunciar a ellos, y legalmente nadie los
puede violentar. Esto significa que, a menos que digas lo contrario, nadie puede usar un trabajo
creado por ti o crear copias de este. De igual manera, si ests pensando utilizar material ajeno,
debers pedir permiso y dar crdito al autor.

PLAGIO
Qu es plagio?
Segn www.plagiarism.org Mucha gente piensa que plagio es copiar el trabajo de alguien o
tomar prestadas las ideas originales de otra persona. Pero trminos como copiar o tomar
prestado pueden disfrazar la seriedad de esta ofensa.
En el diccionario en lnea de Merriam-Webster la definicin de plagio es la siguiente:
Robar y hacer pasar las ideas o palabras de otro como propias.
Utilizar la produccin de otro sin dar crdito a la fuente.
Cometer hurto literario.
Presentar como nueva y original una idea o producto derivado de una fuente existente.
En otras palabras, plagio es un acto de fraude. Envuelve robar el trabajo de otro y luego mentir al
respecto.
La expresin de ideas originales es considerada propiedad intelectual y est protegida por leyes
de copyright, al igual que inventos originales. Casi todas las formas de expresin caen bajo la
proteccin de copyright siempre y cuando estn grabadas de alguna manera (tales como un
libro o un archivo de computadora).
Todos los siguientes son considerados plagio:
Entregar el trabajo de otro como propio.
Copiar palabras o ideas de otro sin darle crdito.
No poner comillas a una cita.
Dar informacin incorrecta sobre acerca de la fuente de una cita.
Cambiar palabras, pero copiar la estructura de la oracin de una fuente sin dar crdito.
Copiar tantas palabras o ideas de una fuente
Fair Use
Fair Use es una doctrina legal que promueve la libertad de expresin permitiendo el uso sin
licencia de trabajos protegidos bajo las leyes de copyright en ciertas circunstancias. La seccin
107 del acta de Copyright provee las bases para determinar si algo es Fair Use, e identifica
ciertos tipos de uso tales como las crticas, cometarios, reportajes de noticias, enseanza,
investigaciones, etc., como ejemplos de actividades que pueden calificar como Fair use. La
seccin 107 indica que se deben tomar en consideracin los siguientes cuatro factores para
evaluar si algo es Fair Use:
En adicin a estos factores, otros pueden tomarse en consideracin por un tribunal al evaluar un
caso de Fair Use, dependiendo de las circunstancias. Los tribunales evalan los casos de Fair
Use individualmente, y la resolucin de cada caso va a depender de los datos especficos del
mismo. Esto quiere decir que no hay una formula particular para determinar la cantidad exacta de
un trabajo que se deba utilizar sin permiso o licencia.
NETIQUETTE
Netiquette es una combinacin de las palabras Network y Etiquette y se define como las
reglas para el comportamiento aceptable cuando se est en lnea. De igual modo, la tica en lnea
se enfoca en el uso aceptable de los recursos de la web en un ambiente social ciberntico.
Ambas frases son intercambiadas a menudo y muchas veces son combinadas con el concepto de
netizen o ciudadano ciberntico. Este concepto se refiere a una persona que usa el internet para
participar de la sociedad y que acepta la responsabilidad de utilizar el internet de manera
productiva y socialmente responsable.
Detrs de todo este concepto de uso responsable del internet hay unos cuantos fundamentos,
aunque los detalles de estos an son tema de debate.
Estar consciente que el internet no es un mundo nuevo en el que se puede hacer cualquier
cosa, sino una nueva dimensin o extensin de nuestra sociedad existente.
Aplicar los mismos estndares y valores en lnea que aplicamos en nuestras vidas
cotidianas. En trminos sencillas, los valores que son aceptables en nuestra sociedad en
cuanto al odio, el racismo, explotacin de menores, etc. Siguen en pie, al igual que los
valores respecto a cortesa, bondad, y respeto.
Aceptar las leyes existentes que protegen los derechos y la dignidad de los ciudadanos
aplican tambin en lnea y que, en ocasiones, estas leyes son alteradas y actualizadas para
reflejar las necesidades de estas en el mundo ciberntico. El robo en lnea sigue siendo
robo, al igual que el asecho, el bullying, el acoso, etc.
Reconocer que las diferencias culturales se mantienen a pesar que las fronteras nacionales
no aplican. Esto requiere encontrar una forma de aceptar que los valores y normas
sociales de algunos netizens no sern los mismos que los de todos los netizens.
Para corporaciones, ser buenos Netizens, aplicar tica ciberntica, y utilizar
Netiquette tambin incluye:
