The U.S. Copyright
Office provides this definition of copyright infringement:
As a general matter,
copyright infringement occurs when a copyrighted work is reproduced,
distributed, performed, publicly displayed, or made into a derivative work
without the permission of the copyright owner.
A copyrighted work is a
literary, musical or artistic work that is fixed in a tangible medium (paper,
canvas, computer file, audio or video recording, etc.). Such protection lasts
for a limited period of time (in the United States, that period for works
created after January 1, 1978, is the life of the author plus an additional 70
years). Protected works include poetry, novels, movies, songs, computer
software, and architecture.
Copyright does not
protect names, titles, slogans, short phrases, ideas, concepts, systems, or
methods of doing something; however, these things may be protected as trademarks or patents.
