Copyright is an <em>intellectual property right</em> that protects original and creative works such as music, literature, photography, etc.
An infringement of copyright occurs when <em>the owner holds a valid copyright, the accused has access to the copyrighted work and there is a duplication of work or it is used without permission. </em>By law copyright infringement penalties mandate payments of actual profits and damages.
Using the case of Jenny we are given the following factors:
1.- Refers to a book written by her.
<em>When you cite yourself you need to do it </em><em>as a primary author,</em><em> Jenny won't infringe any copyright law if she cited herself correctly. </em>
2.- Lifted a 400 worded paragraph from a 550 worded article of a photographer.
<em>When you summarize or paraphrase another person's words without citation it is </em><em>plagiarism. </em>
3.- Never inserted the in text citation.
<em>Jenny didn't make any copyright infringement when putting down the words of her friend since</em><em> ideas cannot be copyrighted</em><em>, they need to be written down.</em>
4.- Quoted the passage copied from the author's article.
<em>The law allows to use quotations when </em><em>the material under public domain </em><em>and it is intended for </em><em>fair use</em><em>. </em>
5.- Cited the copyright images
<em>Copyright laws allow </em><em>a limited amount</em><em> of direct copying if the user is quoting material. </em>

<em>The content's creator has copyright </em><em>on the work from the moment it is created. </em>
