ISC2 Exam ISSMP Topic 4 Question 78 Discussion

Sarah is guilty under copyright laws because pleading ignorance of copyright infringement is not an excuse.

What is copyright?

A copyright is a form of intellectual property, which secures to its holder the exclusive right to produce copies of his or her works of original expression, such as a literary work, movie, musical work or sound recording, painting, photograph, computer program, or industrial design, for a defined, yet extendable, period of time. It does not cover ideas or facts. Copyright laws protect intellectual property from misuse by other individuals.
