What is copyright infringement?
Copyright infringement is the unauthorized use of copyrighted material in a manner that violates one of the copyright owner's exclusive rights, such as the right to reproduce or perform the copyrighted work, or to make derivative works.
Proving copyright infringement?
To prove copyright infringement, first you must prove that you have a valid copyright; then, prove that the work was copied; and lastly, prove that the infringer took a protected expression of your work.
