                     RESPECTING DIGITAL PROPERTY

                     Tools like firewalls and antivirus software help protect devices from online threats. However, digital

                     safety is not only about stopping hackers or protecting personal data. It also includes behaving
                     responsibly in the digital world.
                     Being a good digital citizen means respecting the work created by others. Just as your own data

                     and identity deserve protection, digital creations such as music, videos, images, games, software
                     and  written  content  also need  to  be  protected. This is  done  by  following copyright  rules and
                     avoiding plagiarism. Let us learn about copyright and plagiarism.

                     Copyright

                     Copyright is a legal protection given to people who create original work.
                     When someone writes a book, composes a song, takes a photograph or
                     designs software, the law gives them the right to decide how their work
                     is used. Others cannot copy, share or sell that work without permission.

                     In India original creations are protected under the Copyright Act, 1957.
                     This  law applies  to  books,  music,  videos,  images,  software  and  online
                     content. Copyright helps protect creativity, ensures fair use and gives
                     creators the credit they deserve for their work.

                     Plagiarism

                     Plagiarism happens  when you  use  someone  else’s  words,

                     ideas or images and present them as your own without giving
                     credit. For example, copying content from a website for a school              Always use legal
                     project without mentioning the source is plagiarism. To avoid                streaming services
                     this, always use your own words and ideas.                                  or buy content from
                                                                                                 authorised sources.
                     If you need to use information from a book, website or person,
                     make sure to mention the source. This is called citing the source.
