The widespread use of social media, and the corresponding ability to create, share, and misappropriate content ' all in an instant ' has radically increased the number of unwitting copyright owners and infringers.
The Internet Is Not a Consequence-Free Zone
The ability to create, share, and misappropriate content ' all in an instant ' on social media has radically increased the number of unwitting copyright owners and infringers. Those who publish their musings, photographs, videos via Twitter, Facebook, Instagram or YouTube, for example, do not necessarily know that their content may be protected by copyright law. By the same token, those who make use of others' content typically give little thought to whether their actions constitute copyright infringement.
