It may say copyright but it is wrong

Copyright is when you copy, steal, or take someones work without permission. The most common copyright is probably when students do projects, or when people download music. When students use someone elses work they sometimes froget to cite their sources. This is a form of copyright. When people download music off of websites or programs for free that is illegal. You are basically stealling from the artist that made that song. Sometimes other artists take the tune to a song and write a new song to the song. This is also a form of copyright. The most famous case of that was probbally the Vanilla Ice vs Queen case. Ice took the tune of the song and just changed the lyrics without Queen's consent which is copyright.
