Copyright Law Basics Copyright law affects the workplace activities of many employees on a daily basis. Copyright protection extends to newspaper and magazine articles, instructional videos, web sites, computer Courses, and even elevator music. Most people recognize the presence of a copyright by the symbol ?, but even in the absence of the symbol the material may be protected by copyright law. Employees need to understand copyright basics for at least two reasons. First, to the extent a company produces copyrightable material, the employees must help the company protect its rights in all dealings with others. In addition, as occasional users of copyrighted material, employees need to understand that the unauthorized use of copyrighted material can expose them individually and/or the company to civil liability and even criminal penalties.
