Certain copying is not infringement i.e if for private study, criticism or fair dealing - e.g. for pure research.
unauthorized reproduction of a copyrighted work in a copy that is substantially similar in appearance to the copyrighted work.
Infringement occurs through usage of a substantial amount of a copyrighted work without consent for purposes other than those outlined in the statutory doctrine of fair usage. See " copyright, fair usage ."
Copyright infringement (or copyright violation) is the unauthorized use of material protected by intellectual property rights law, specifically copyright law, in a manner that violates one of the original copyright owner's exclusive rights, such as the right to reproduce or perform the copyrighted work, or to make derivative works that build upon it. The slang term bootleg (derived from the use of the shank of a boot for the purposes of smuggling) is often used to describe illicitly copied material.
