这样算侵权吗？

俗话说，天下文章一大抄，就看你会抄不会抄。等等，别被骗了！版权陷阱那么多，一不小心你就会成为侵权者。为了以防万一，还是先搞清楚这些关于版权的真假传言吧！

1. Copyright can protect my ideas.

Copyright applies to a recorded work， it cannot apply to something as intangible1） as an idea. Within certain fields （such as inventions）， it may be possible to apply for a patent2）.

Because copyright applies to the actual recorded work—documents， music， artwork， etc.， if a competitor used your copyright work， （i.e. copied or adapted your promotional literature or stole content from your website to promote their own product）， this would be an infringement3） and you could certainly take action. But there is little you can do to prevent someone else creating their own work based on a similar idea as long as they are not copying your work to do so.

2. I can copyright a name or title.

Copyright laws are actually very restrictive， and do not apply to items such as names and titles that may be duplicated4） coincidentally5）， or that may be legitimately used in unrelated instances.

From a copyright perspective， there is no reason why two works cannot have the same title. As long as the content of works themselves are not copied or adapted， no infringement has occurred. But if the name was a trademark， or if it could be proved that that use of the title misleads or confuses the public， then there can be issues.

1. 版權可以保护想法。

版权用于保护被记录下来的作品，不用于保护像想法这种无形的东西。在某些领域（例如发明创造），版权有可能用于保护专利。

由于版权适用于实际记录下来的作品，如文献、音乐、艺术作品等，若有竞争对手使用了你的版权作品，比如照搬或改编了你的宣传资料，或从你的网站窃取内容，用以推销他们自己的产品，那么这就是侵权行为，你当然可以采取行动。但只要别人在这样做时没有抄袭你的作品，那你几乎没办法阻止别人基于与你相似的想法创作属于自己的作品。

2. 我可以用版权保护名称或标题。

事实上，版权法规十分局限，而且不适用于保护诸如名称和标题之类的条目，这类条目有可能由于巧合而雷同，也可能合法地运用到无关的事例上。

从版权的角度来看，两部作品没理由不能拥有相同的标题。只要作品内容本身不是抄袭或改编的，就不存在侵权行为。但如果该名称属于商标，或者有证据能够证明该名称的使用误导或迷惑了公众，那么就可能有问题了。

3. Everything on the Internet is in the "public domain" and free to use.

This highlights a common misunderstanding about what is meant by "public domain" when referring to copyright work. A work will fall into the public domain once copyright expires6）， this will typically be many years after the author&apos；s death. While work published on the Internet may be publicly accessible， it is certainly not in the public domain.

4. Anything without a copyright notice is not protected.

Copyright will apply whether there is a copyright notice or not. Having said this， it is still certainly worth placing a copyright notice on your work. A copyright notice reminds others that copyright exists， and may therefore help to deter7） infringement.

5. If I change someone else&apos；s work I can claim it as my own.

The act of copying or adapting someone else&apos；s work is a restricted act. Any adaptation will be legally regarded as a derived work； so if you simply adapt the work of others， it will still be their work， and they have every right to object you if publish such a work when they have not given you permission to do so. They are also entitled8） to reclaim any money you make from selling their work.

6. It&apos；s OK to use copy or publish other people&apos；s work if I don&apos；t make any money out of it.

No， except in specific circumstances permitted under fair use9） rules， any copying or publication without the consent of the copyright owner is an infringement， and you could face legal action.

3. 網上的东西都属于“公有领域”，可以自由使用。

这显示出当“公有领域”应用在版权作品上时，人们对这一术语的普遍误解。一部作品在版权过期后会进入公有领域，这通常发生在作者去世许多年后。而在网上发表的作品虽说可能是人人都可以获取阅读的，但肯定不属于“公有领域”。

4. 没有版权声明的作品

不在保护范围之内。

无论是否有版权声明，都会获得版权保护。虽说如此，但在你的作品上刊登一条版权声明无疑还是很值得的。版权声明能够提醒他人版权的存在，因此可能会有助于阻止侵权行为。

5. 假如我修改了他人的作品，

我就可以把改后作品据为己有。

抄袭或改编他人作品是一种很受限制的行为。任何改编作品都会被法律认为是衍生作品，因此如果你只是简单地将他人的作品进行了改编，那么改编后的作品仍属于他人，他们拥有绝对的权利反对你未经他们许可就发表这样的作品。而且他们还有资格向你索取因销售其作品而获得的所有报酬。

6. 只要我不用于营利，

就可以复制或发表他人的作品。

不是这样的，除了在基于合理使用原则的特定情形下，任何不经版权所有人许可就复制或发表其作品的行为都属于侵权，你可能会面临法律制裁。
