2. Give some examples of resources that have copyright.
3. Why do you think it is wrong to infringe on the copyright of others?
4. What do you have to do if you want to use the materials of others?
5. What may happen if you use the materials of others without their permission?
6. Have you seen others infringing on the copyright of others? What did they do?
7. What can you do to make sure that you do not infringe on the copyright of others?
In order to understand the issues of copyright, you might want to check this link:http://www.nyp.edu.sg/NYPStudents/pdfs/FAQs_on_copyrights.pdf.
I am eagerly waiting to read your response.

A copyright protects an original artistic work. Copyright - symbolized ©.They are publish, copy and distribute a piece of writing, music, picture or other work of authorship;they are the examples of resources that have copyright.It is really wrong to infringe on the copyright of other because we did not have its permission.If you want to use others' materials, you have to get the authors or owners permission before you take it.You might be fined when you copyright.I have seen people copying pictures without sending any permission to the author or owner.Its either you ask for the author's permission or you acknowledge where the pictures were from.
