Abstract
The online Oxford English Dictionary defines copyright as “The exclusive and assignable legal right, given to the originator for a fixed number of years, to print, publish, perform, film, or record literary, artistic, or musical material” [1]. These legal rights vary from country to country and what may be considered permissible in one country might not be permissible in another.
