Discuss the challenges of protecting intellectual property rights

What will be an ideal response?

Intellectual property is work that results from someone's creativity or knowledge such as art, writing, music, pictures, or software. These works are protected by copyright law, and making illegal copies and distributing them digitally is illegal and unethical. Plagiarism happens when someone represents another's work as their own without giving credit or revealing the source of the information. While plagiarism is not illegal it usually does not go unpunished in some way. To avoid copyright violation through plagiarism, take care to ensure your work is your own. But if you use someone else's work, you not only need to give credit to the source, but also must obtain permission from the copyright holder. Academic fair use excuses educators and students from having to obtain permission as long as the work is being used for academic purposes, and without generating economic gain.
