what are copyright laws?
Okay, Mickey Mouse is copyrighted by Disney, so I can buy a mickey mouse toy and sell the same mickey mouse toy, but like other disney products I cannot reproduce it and sell it correct? now if I were to make a Mickey Mouse toy/sculpture myself, would I be able to sell it? and if I weren’t gonna be able to sell it would I be able to give it away? because from what I understand, as long as you don’t get any monitary gain, you can do whatever you want with it, correct? Okay, but are exchanges illegal? please tell me thanks, okay so what if I made a model of the character myself?
Copyright is a set of exclusive rights regulating the use of a particular expression of an idea or information. At its most general, it is literally “the right to copy” an original creation. In most cases, these rights are of limited duration. The symbol for copyright is ©, and in some jurisdictions may alternatively be written as either (c) or (C).
Copyright law covers only the form or manner in which ideas or information have been manifested, the “form of material expression”. It is not designed or intended to cover the actual idea, concepts, facts, styles, or techniques which may be embodied in or represented by the copyright work. For example, the copyright which subsists in relation to a Mickey Mouse cartoon prohibits unauthorized parties from distributing copies of the cartoon or creating derivative works which copy or mimic Disney’s particular anthropomorphic mouse, but does not prohibit the creation of artistic works about anthropomorphic mice in general, so long as they are sufficiently different to not be imitative of the original. In some jurisdictions, copyright law provides scope for satirical or interpretive works which themselves may be copyrighted. Other laws may impose legal restrictions on reproduction or use where copyright does not – such as trademarks and patents.
