Throughout the centuries, wars have been fought whenever disputes cannot be solved. Wars occur within a country as well as among countries. The American Civil War that was fought between 1861 and 1865 was between the northern and southern states in America itself on the issue of slavery. In the end, the southern states were beaten and the slaves were freed. Often, when different groups within a country cannot reach a compromise, a war will break out with the victor being the one whose ideas will dominate the country. Revolutions also occur in a country when the people are unhappy. In 1918, the Germans were unhappy with their inefficient government, the Weimar Republic. The people used violence to remove their government. Like the war in America, lives were lost and property was destroyed. World Wars I and II saw large scale violence as countries everywhere fought their enemies to protect their own interests. Soldiers fought for their own countries as well as those they had formed allies with. Later wars resulted in even more bloodshed as improvements in weapons and ammunition enabled violence to be done on an even larger scale. Trang 2/4 - Mã đề 495

Most forms of property are concrete and tangible, such as houses, cars, furniture or anything else that is included in one’s possessions. Other forms of property can be intangible, and copyright deals with intangible forms of property. Copyright is a legal protection extended to authors of creative works, for example books magazine articles, maps, films, plays, television shows, software, paintings, photographs, music, choreography in dance and all other forms of intellectual or artistic property. Although the purpose of artistic property is usually public use and enjoyment, copyright establishes the ownership of the creator. When a person buys a copyrighted magazine, it belongs to this individual as a tangible object. However, the authors of the magazine articles own the research and the writing that went into creating the articles. The right to make and sell or give away copies of books or articles belongs to the authors, publishers, or other individuals or organizations that hold the copyright. To copy an entire book or a part of it, permission must be received from the copyright owner, who will most likely expect to be paid. Copyright law distinguishes between different types of intellectual property. Music may be played by anyone after it is published. However, if it is performed for profit, the performers need to pay a fee called a royalty. A similar principle applies to performances of songs and plays. On the other hand, names, ideas and book titles are excepted. Ideas do not become copyrighted property until they are published in a book a painting or a musical work. Almost all artistic work created before the 20th century is not copyrighted because it was created before the copyright law was passed. The two common ways of infringing upon the copyright are plagiarism and piracy. Plagiarizing the work of another person means passing it off as one’s own. The word plagiarism is derived from the Latin plaglarus, which means “abductor”. Piracy may be an act of one person, but, in many cases, it is a joint effort of several people who reproduce copyrighted material and sell it for profit without paying royalties to the creator. Technological innovations have made piracy easy and anyone can duplicate a motion picture on videotape a computer program, or a book. Video cassette recorders can be used by practically anyone to copy movies and television programs, and copying software has become almost as easy as copying a book.
