What Is Copyright Infringement? Examples That May Surprise You. There are a few things going on here. First of all, let’s forget about the existing translation and look back at the definition of a derivative work from the first question.
It’s pretty clear that without the original book, there could be no translation whatsoever—the de facto definition of “derivative.” Inarguably, a translation is a derivative work. Well, obviously, you say. I know it’s a derivative work. Wrong. However, if the original copyright has expired, you’re certainly free to make your own translation—even if someone else has done another modern translation, whose copyright is still valid. Here’s an example—Beowulf, arguably the most impressive of the Old English that has luckily enough been preserved, has been translated many, many times. You may be surprised to learn how vastly different translations of the same piece can vary, especially when you’re dealing with poetry. Copyright. Tips for Using the Internet.
PD Info-Public Domain and Royalty Free Music. The Teacher's Guide To Copyright And Fair Use. Today, so much of our research happens online, and part of what makes the internet so wonderful is the ease at which it brings information into our lives. But when that information is so easily available to us, it is sometimes easy to forget that someone else produced that information, and they deserve credit.

Creative Commons. International Copyright. International Copyright There is no such thing as an “international copyright” that will automatically protect an author’s writings throughout the world.
Protection against unauthorized use in a particular country depends on the national laws of that country. However, most countries offer protection to foreign works under certain conditions that have been greatly simplified by international copyright treaties and conventions. There are two principal international copyright conventions, the Berne Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works (Berne Convention) and the Universal Copyright Convention (UCC). The United States became a member of the Berne Convention on March 1, 1989.
It has been a member of the UCC since September 16, 1955. An author who desires copyright protection for his or her work in a particular country should first determine the extent of protection available to works of foreign authors in that country. FL-100, Reviewed November 2009.
