2.+Copyright+and+Multimedia

**Multimedia Types covered by Copyright**
· Images (paintings, photographs, cartoons, illustrations, etc) · Text (novels, textbooks, poems, newspaper articles, computer software, etc) · Music (melodies, song music, film scores, podcasts, etc) · Dramatic works (plays, screenplays, choreography, etc) · Films and moving images (films, television programs, interactive games, vodcasts, etc) · Sound recordings (MP3 files, CDs, DVDs, tape recordings, etc)

Why should these multimedia types be covered by copyright laws?
These multimedia types should be covered by copyright laws because it is respectful to the author and acknowledges the work they have done and the efforts they have put into their project. If they are not covered by laws, then anyone can use them and this can become a major problem, not only for the authors, but also for large companies as well. By putting copyright restrictions on these multimedia types, it benefits everyone and gives the author some credit for their work.
