Copyright laws can affect the day to day work we complete.
When researching and studying, people can often unknowingly breach copyright laws when they copy and paste an image or section of text without acknowledging them as sources. In this situation, to avoid breaching the regulations you should always ensure that you have a list of sources (known as a bibliography) at the end of your work, and make it clear that work is not yours by, for example, using quotation marks if a large section of text has been directly copied, or rewording smaller sections of text.
Is work from the internet still protected by copyright laws?
