Copyright

What is Copyright? Copyright is a legal concept, it gives the creator of the original piece of work exclusive rights to it, but usually, it's for a limited time. It means "the right to copy" in most cases, but it also gives the copyright holder the right to be credited for this piece of work, they also choose who gets the financial benefits of the piece and other related rights. You have to pay for your rights because this piece of work is now yours under the law. Examples of artists who have already had copyright put onto their work are people such as Andy Warhol, he has his own museum for his work to be viewed. Another artist is Lichtenstein who is famous mainly for his pop art and has his work copyrighted.

Libel and Sensitivity to Society: All people are different, which means there's a lot of mixed opinions about different topics. If you want to show your work or you want to speak out about it, you should think about other opinions and views before you make these points heard. It may result in being offensive or in someone complaining if you don't do so. Many examples are websites such as YouTube where people have uploaded offensive videos and people have replied their opinions, Tumblr is also another site where people may upload an offensive picture, GIF or video and it causes arguments globally.

Decency: Decency often means rude, inappropriate and or explicit work which has been uploaded for the public. People can control this by reporting said work or sending a complaint. People can also warn the viewer by reminding them that they are entering a explicit website etc.

Safeguarding: Safeguarding can be related to 'decency' but this mostly involves children and what they can view when they're surfing the internet. This is mainly installed in school computers so that children cannot see anything inappropriate or links which could cause damage to the computer like viruses.
