Description

ABSTRACT The extensive use of the Internet for small business web sites has focused increased attention on issues relating to copyright law. "Copyright is the right to exclude, not to publish" (Field, 2002). United States copyright law envelops all forms of expression as long as the form is permanent (i.e. scribed on paper, recorded on tape, painted on canvas, or coded into a computer). International copyright law does not exist, but resides within each country. Survey results indicated that only 56.5 percent of respondents knew that cutting and pasting the source code of a setup from a web page is a copyright infringement. When asked if copying a page that does not have a copyright notice on it is a copyright infringement only 53.8 percent responded with the correct answers. Likewise, only 51.4 percent of respondents answered correctly when asked if sharing an image or background with friends violates copyright guidelines. Representatives from the construction industry scored significantly lower than did survey participants from other types of businesses. Small business owners should become more knowledgeable about copyright issues for web pages. If the business is cited for copyright violations, the owner will ultimately be held responsible.
