- CopyrightCopyright is a legal right that protects original works of authorship, such as music, videos, art, etc. fixed in any tangible medium of expression. Generally, copyright protects an original expression of an idea, such as the specific way a video or music is expressed or created, but does not protect underlying ideas or facts. Before submitting a report, copyright owners should consider whether unauthorized use of their content is permitted as fair use. Examples of fair use include parody, news reporting, criticism and commentary.

- TrademarkA trademark is any word, slogan, symbol, design (such as a logo), or combination of any of the foregoing that distinguishes the products or services offered by one person, group or company from another.
