Egregious or large-scale commercial infringement, especially when it involves counterfeiting, is sometimes prosecuted via the criminal justice system. Copyright holders routinely invoke legal and technological measures to prevent and penalize copyright infringement.Ĭopyright infringement disputes are usually resolved through direct negotiation, a notice and take down process, or litigation in civil court. The copyright holder is typically the work's creator, or a publisher or other business to whom copyright has been assigned. Copyright infringement (at times referred to as piracy) is the use of works protected by copyright without permission for a usage where such permission is required, thereby infringing certain exclusive rights granted to the copyright holder, such as the right to reproduce, distribute, display or perform the protected work, or to make derivative works.
