"It is an offence to perform any of the following acts without the consent of the owner:
Copy the work."
This is not true in the USA. Copyright is not about intellectual property, that is a patent. Plagiarism is not a legal issue.
Doesn't anyone remember the commercials about making you own personalized play list, or making one for your girlfriend or boyfriend (not family members). They have been trying to change how copyright law is applied for at least the last twenty years.
Look. If copyright the way the want to make it is legitimized this site will have to shut down, or employ a full time staff to make sure that I don't paste,
"it's a bit off topic,but isn't it the same monsanto is getting away with by copyrighting seeds?so you buy their seeds but can't reuse them?" by SJ
because once it is published on the internet it is de facto copyrighted, and this site in now in violation of copyright law, and SJ could sue them for copyright violation, for failing to keep copyrighted material from being published on this site.
btw Monsanto does not copyright seeds, it is a patent on the specific genetic makeup of the seeds, specially GMO-seeds (Genetically modified organism).
Here are the three main areas of legal protection (learn them, know them, use them-that is also a copyright violation) :
Patent: "the exclusive right granted by a government to an inventor to manufacture, use, or sell an invention for a certain number of years."
Trademark: "any name, symbol, figure, letter, word, or mark adopted and used by a manufacturer or merchant in order to designate his or her goods and to distinguish them from those manufactured or sold by others. A trademark is a proprietary term that is usually registered with the Patent and Trademark Office to assure its exclusive use by its owner."
Copyright: "the exclusive right to make copies, license, and otherwise exploit a literary, musical, or artistic work, whether printed, audio, video, etc.: works granted such right by law on or after January 1, 1978, are protected for the lifetime of the author or creator and for a period of 50 years after his or her death."
The operative word in the definition is "exploit"!
Exploit: "to utilize, especially for profit"
"and otherwise exploit"
and in other or different manner likewise make a profit from the said activity, as copying and licensing.

"but if this world keeps right on spinning
for the better or the worse
and all it ever gets is older and around,
from the rocking of the cradle,
to the rolling of the hearse,
the going up was worth the coming down!"

How long after picking up the brush, the first masterpiece?
The goal is not to obfuscate that which is clear, but make clear that which isn't.
