The copyright law was originated from the concept of the common law in the UK. The act for this law is the copyright, designs and patents act in 1988. This law was put in place to prevent people copying things from the internet and using as their own work. This applies to song lyrics, play, musical recordings, photographs, films and many more. Copyright occurs when an artist makes something, this is because it is their work is original and it belongs to them. Staff should be aware of this as it is illegal to copy someone else’s work and people in the work place and they could both get into a lot of trouble for it.
