Copyright

Copyright is defined as the protection of the physical expression of ideas. As soon as an idea is given physical form such as a piece of writing, a photograph, music, a film, a web page, it is protected by copyright. There is no need for registration or to claim copyright in some way, protection is automatic at the point of creation. Both published and unpublished works are protected by copyright.
As part of the process of show, the other students and I have to talk about the copyright issues with our products. For my game, I used music from already existing games. However, because I used the files for educational purposes then it is allowed.
"Unlimited manual copies of literary, dramatic, musical or artistic works may be made for the purposes of instruction. This means, for example, that a diagram may be re-drawn on a whiteboard and hand copied by students. This exception does not cover any sort of reprographic copying, e.g. photocopying, although this may be possible under licences held by the University."
"The Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988 states that copyright is not infringed by anything done for the purposes of an examination."
Being an applicable examination, the show meant it was okay for me to use the music in my game.
