Content & learning objectives
Copyright and the ownership of intellectual and creative materials is something around which there is often confusion. In a digital world where it is easyt to access, download, edit, and publish, then there are many misunderstandings. However, since copyright law is firmly established and many people, companies, and organisations wish to maintain their ownership rights (and protect their income/investment) then it is vital that all of us have at least a basic grasp of the key ideas.
