As groups, we had to create a powerpoint presentation, our group were against illegal piracy, for copyright. I came up with a few points on how filesharing is not illegal, but how the data being shared is illegal. this was the end result:

ABC photographs
We were split up into groups in which we had to find each letter of the alphabet, as long as it was not tampered with, as in we could not artificially create a letter of the alphabet.
I took the photographs for our group, and found a few.
Although i did attempt to create a podcast with music and all of the images, it would not work properly, so i will upload the finished product when i can actually get it too work properly.

Copyright excercise
The following is exercises I did, incomplete however:
1.1 Identify sources of information on copyright.
Australian Copyright Council's Online Information Centre http://www.copyright.org.au/
The Arts Law Centre of Australia http://www.artslaw.com.au/
1.2 Determine what is and is not protected by copyright.
Copyright does not protect ideas, concepts, styles, techniques or information.
Some “works” are too small or unoriginal to be protected by copyright. For example, single words (even invented words), names, titles, slogans and headlines are unlikely to be protected by copyright.
People and people’s images (images of their face or body) are not protected by copyright. Sometimes, however, other areas of law, such as defamation and the Trade Practices Act, can affect the circumstances in which a person’s image can be used.
1.3 Identify and determine role of copyright collection societies.
Copyright collection societies licence and manage the distribution of copyrighted work. They collect and also distribute royalties on behalf of the copyright owners.
1.4 Check copyright legislation with appropriate person.
2.1 Identify copyright owner's exclusive rights
To publish there work to the public, and to be protected from plagiarism.
2.2 Determine need for copyright clearance and identify potential for fair use of copyright material.
Copyright owners can “assign” (generally, sell) or license their rights. Assigning rights means someone else becomes the copyright owner; licensing means another person can use the copyright material.
Assignments and licences can apply to all the rights in the material, or to just one or some of the rights. For example, a writer can assign or license just the right to reproduce his or her story in a book, but keep all other rights. In addition, a copyright owner may restrict an assignment or licence in various ways: to particular countries; or to a particular period of time; or to a set number of copies; or to a particular format (for example, hard-copy only, or in brochures but not in posters), for example.
A copyright owner may also set certain conditions, such as payment, as part of their agreement to assign or license rights.
It is good business practice to put all arrangements relating to copyright into writing. An assignment must be in writing and signed by the copyright owner to be fully effective. An exclusive licence that is in writing and signed by the copyright owner entitles the licensee to institute legal proceedings for copyright infringement.
2.3 Discuss and confirm copyright clearance issues.
2.4 Determine if moral rights or performer's rights need to be credited
Individual creators have rights called “moral rights”, whether or not they own copyright. These are the rights to:
* be attributed as the creator of their work;
* take action if their work is falsely attributed as being someone else’s work or is altered by someone else but attributed as if it were unaltered; and
* take action if their work is distorted or treated in a way that is prejudicial to their honour or reputation.

Powerpoint information
The following is information i found on copyright for our power point presentation:
With file sharing it is next to impossible to know exactly what you are getting. Although the filename may suggest a movie or song you want, until you have downloaded and installed it onto your computer, you are not sure as to what you are getting or the quality. You may be downloading a virus or something completely different to what you think you are downloading.
Something is protected by copyright if it is:
* A form of expression covered by the Copyright Act,
* Recorded or “fixed” (for example, written down or saved in a digital file), and
* The result of some skill and effort, and not merely copied from somewhere else.
It must also be first published in a country, which is a party to an international copyright treaty, or made by a national of such a country. Most countries are a member of one or more copyright treaties, so it is extremely rare that a work first published overseas, or by an overseas creator, is not protected.
No, it's 100% legal. In no state in the United States or in any other country is file sharing illegal. However, if you're sharing content that is protected by copyrights to other users that is illegal. Below are some good examples of where file sharing becomes illegal in many places around the world.
1. Downloading or sharing a copyrighted movie.
2. Sharing copyrighted songs (music) to other people who have not purchased those songs or downloading songs from other people when you've not purchased that song.
3. Sharing or downloading computer software (programs, games, etc.).
4. Downloading or sharing a copyrighted TV show or program.
The programs and/or technologies behind file sharing are not illegal, it's data being shared that may be illegal. Using bittorrent or other file sharing programs to download a software patch or update a game demo, movie trailer, etc. is legal. However, using that same program to get a new hit song or a movie still in theaters is illegal.
