Today, most people who use computers for email, or to download photos, music, data files, and many other sources of information that the Internet offers, are not aware of the laws governing the use of that data.

People in media, especially publications, advertising, photography, printing and the graphic design/arts industry, need to know the limitations, protections and permissions of the wide range of intellectual and copyrighted material used in their professions.
