Plagiarism of Intellectual Property

Aha! Now that you see that these are things that you do every day; often times, more than once a day – you may wonder why it is important to protect them. What value do I get from protecting them? Is it costly to protect?

The Internet has made it easier for people to access and reproduce any information on the internet, including: music, artwork, written publications, and any piece of information that is digital. Intellectual Property is therefore intangible. 

  • It can be easily copied

  • It can be easily removed

  • It can be stolen and used by someone else
  • It is difficult to recover
