Copyright Laws Explained

Being a blogger, I always take care not to infringe on copyright rules. More so because I wouldn't find it funny if someone copied my content. The other reason is that if I infringe on copyright rules then I may find myself a very not happy blogger. Everyone must be original, although we make references all the time, we do not copy content and pass it as our own. That is purely wrong. No two way about it. So I set out to search about these laws. I came across a number of resources that were very helpful. But one in particular, was very amusing. I thought to share it here and hope I have not broken any copyright rules.
