about what the copy right law

which is and the rights given to

the own of the copy right

• It also tells me that the only way

copyright law is not taken into

account is if there is written

permission.

This source was very useful as it goes

into depth on what is copyright law I

also found that the heading’s breaks

up the information so I can find

exactly what would be useful to

answering my question. However

there is quite a lot of information

given so it did take up quite amount

of time to find the useful information

needed.

all the information I needed and was

easy and quick to find once on the

page as it was all broken up into

sections, so l then just had to read

the headline’s of the section to find

the relevant information.
