The fictional vignette demonstrates how intellectual property is just like anything else that a person works very hard to create. There is no difference between stealing a skateboard and stealing music.
For this very important and current concept, students will be learning:
- What intellectual property is and what rights people have in protecting it,
- How intellectual property is protected by trademarks and copyrights and what kind of works can receive such protection; and
- How are the artists and owners of protected works remunerated through royalties or licensing fees?
