In the US, copyright law is found in Title 17 of the US Code.\n\n17 USC 506 makes it a crime to violate federal copyright laws. Scanning a book without having the legal permission to make that electronic copy would almost certainly constitute a copyright violation, making the person who did it culpable. Then there are conspiracy and soliciation charges for someone who asked another person or agreed with another person to break the law.\n\nCopyright law is not something to ignore. It's just not worth it.

Anyone can hold copyrights, and religious entities frequently do. For instance, various translations of the Bible are copyrighted, along with the extra material that goes along with various editions. Tax exemption and copyrights are unrelated.

I don't know as if you can register (copyright) a "quote" as such. Quotations are usually derived from books, poems, songs, essays, articles and the like, all of which *can* be copyrighted by the writer.

I'd go to Microsoft to be sure I am not infringing on a copyright.  \n\nIt is NOT TRUE that you can use what you find elsewhere as long as you give credit to where you found the graphic.  (Links 1 & 2) That is a very serious misconception that artists/writers and copyright owners have been trying to disabuse people of for ages so please ignore the one person who gave that answer.  They are, sadly, misinformed and advocating breaking the law in a manner that can be financially costly. (Link 3)\n\nBy the way, THANK YOU for asking!  As an artist, I am very, very grateful for people like you who take the time to find graphics that are, indeed, free --- instead of just assuming they can be used.  You're the best!

It's called copyrights you can't get credit for someone Else's hard work. that is why u always do what these other two people say print the source where u got that information. And people have gotten in trouble before for not doing this. It's a law.

Actually it is NOT illegal, as long as you do not sell or broadcast the copied material.  You can make as many copies as you want as long as it is for YOUR use.  Once that copy leaves your hands it becomes illegal.

All downloading of anyhting copyrighted is illegal. If you are not paying for the music/movie/ whatever, then the producer is not making money, therefore YOU get in trouble =(. Any P2P sdharing can be legal, but not if you are downloading copyrighted items, because that is copyright infringement. If you download some neighborhood garage band, then that would be OK, as long as they don't care, but if it is like Britney Spears or something , then yes, it is illegal.

Go to the copyright office and have it certified as your own and then they give u legal documents that prove it belongs to you! \n\nMy advice is contact a lawyer and ask them and they may be able to tell u the right way to get something copyrighted.

You need to go to the office of patents. They will determine which one you will recieve although it's nearly impossible to copyright a phrase or slogan.
