Explanation
Many online materials are protected by copyright laws, and using them without permission may infringe on the rights of the copyright holder. Just because content is available online does not mean it is free from copyright or other intellectual property rights (IPRs). Intellectual Property Rights (IPRs) do apply to online content. Copyright, trademarks, patents, and other forms of IPRs protect various types of content on the Internet, just as they protect content in the offline world.
