What is copyright?
Copyright is a form of
protection given to the authors
or creators of “original works of
authorship,” including literary,
dramatic, musical, artistic and other
intellectual works.
What about me?
Did you know that whenever you
write a poem or story or even a
paper for your class, or a drawing
or other artwork, you automatically
own the copyright to it?
What does it mean in real life?
What that means is that, as the
author of the work, you alone have
the right to do any of the following or
to let others do any of the following:
1. Make copies of your work;
2. Distribute copies of your work;
What does it mean in real life?
3. Perform your work publicly (such as for plays,
film, dances or music);
4. Display your work publicly (such as for artwork,
or stills from audiovisual works, or any material
used on the Internet or television);
5. Make “derivative works” (including making
modifications, adaptations or other new uses of
a work, or translating the work to another
media).
FAIR USE
In general, it is illegal for anyone to do
any of these things with a work created by
you, without your permission, but there are
some exceptions and limitations to your
rights. One major limitation is the doctrine
of “Fair Use.” Copyright law in the United States is embodied in federal laws enacted by
Congress. The current copyright law, the Copyright Act of 1976 (as amended), is codified in Title 17 of the U.S. Code.

What if I want to use a quote from a source within my paper?
In MLA style, referring to the works of others in your text is done by using what is known as parenthetical citation. This method involves placing source information in parentheses after a quote or a paraphrase.
In-Text Citation
MLA format follows the author-page method of in-text citation.
This means that the author's last name and the page number(s) from which the quotation or paraphrase is taken must appear in the text, and a complete reference should appear on your Works Cited page.
In-Text Citation
The author's name may appear either in the sentence itself or in parentheses following the quotation or paraphrase, but the page number(s) should always appear in the parentheses, not in the text of your sentence.
