Copyright is when someone has created something and now has the rights to it. They are allowed to reproduce the work if desired. Copyright is to protect the product that the person has created, this only protects the product that has been produced not the idea. If someone using the product and uses it as their own that would be illegal to use it in that way.
Plagiarism:
Plagiarism is when someone takes something they did not create and say it is their own. Taking someone else product or idea is plagiarism because you did not do the work you stole the work and used it for your own good. Always use your own ideas if it is something you want to call your own. If it is not your work then you must reference where you got it from.
Fair Use:
Fair use is a law in the United States that limits the use of Copywrite products. I order to use something that you did not create you must get permission from the one who created it. If you use it without permission you are breaking the law. Always ask for permission to use a product that is not yours.
