	Copyright protection
User	People who create artistic works such as music are entitled to a "copyright", meaning that they have
Notebook	exclusive rights to dictate how their work is used. When they are created, artistic works are automatically
	protected by a copyright without having to submit notification or registration, and may not be used without
	the permission of the person who created the work.
	In the music world, however, illegal acts of distributing music without the permission of the artist,
Sony	particularly on the Internet, have recently been on the increase. That is why the Recording Industry
	Association of America (RIAA) took the initiative to organize a forum called Secure Music Digital Initiative
	(SDMI) to study technology for protecting copyrights during the electronic distribution of music.
	Sony offers the MagicGate Memory Stick™ and Memory Stick™ Walkman with a copyright protection
	function that complies with SDMI standards, thereby providing an environment where individuals can
	record and enjoy third-party music data without worrying about copyright infringement.

✍Literary works that are recorded by individuals are permitted for private usage only.
