Thing 10

Copyright is a very important thing that will follow you for the rest of life. Copyright is important because it protects people’s ideas and creations. Copyright insures that the person that took the time and energy to think or create something is rewarded and that nobody else can take their credit away. Not only is it rude to take something that doesn’t belong to you it is also stealing. Copyright is something having to do with morals. Think of it this way, “Would you like it if somebody stole your ideas and then got something out of it?” The reason why you need to take copyright serious is that later in life you will come across copyright situations whether its school, your job, or personal use. It will follow you and you need to know that just like you don’t like it when they steal from you neither do other people.
