give credit to the author who wrote
the information you read and used in

Why is it important?
How would you feel if someone copied
your writing and told everyone it was
theirs?
How would you feel if someone took
your drawing and put their name on
it?

Copyright

Only the person who created the music, drew the


picture, or wrote the poem owns that piece of
artistic work. This means that when Andrew
draws a picture of his cat Missy he holds a
copyright on his drawing! Even if Andrew never
shows anybody but his mommy that picture of
Missy, he still has something called a copyright,
and no one else can use that picture of Missy and
say they made it.
