This act ensures that things such as literacy, photographs, artists creations, engravements, dramatic and musical works cannot be copied. The law is also carried out when it comes to computers as it is illegal to copy software or run pirated software. Everything here mentioned, however, can be claimed as someone elses when the original owner has been dead for a certain amount of years. It is usually after 70 years it can be claimed but in some cases where they don't know who the creator is it can be claimed 50 years after it was first made public.
