 * Copyright and Multimedia **

**The Components of Multimedia are:**

-Movies/Videos -Audio -Images/Graphics -Animation -Text -Hypertext

These components of multimedia are covered by copyright because it protects the rights of the author or creator. It is to protect their work and to prevent others from copying, claiming or distributing it as their own. Without copyright people would be able to ‘borrow’ others hard work without the permission of the author or creator. They would be able to copy others work, sell it and may even earn profits from it. Copyright allows the creator to decide whether they will allow someone to use their work or not
