in dance and all other forms of intellectual or artistic property.Although the purpose of artistic property is usually public use and enjoyment, copyrightestablishes the ownership of the creator When a person buys a copyrighted magazine, itbelongs to this individual as a tangible object However, the authors of the magazine articlesown the research and the writing that went into creating the articles The right to make andsell or give away copies of books or articles belongs to the authors, publishers, or otherindividuals or organizations that hold the copyright To copy an entire book or a part of it,permission must be received from the copyright owner, who will most likely expect to bepaid

The two common ways of infringing upon the copyright are plagiarism and piracy.

by practically anyone to copy movies and television programs, and copying software hasbecome almost as easy as copying a book Large companies zealously monitor theircopyrights for slogans, advertisements, and brand names, protected by a trademark

Of all modern instruments, the violin is apparently one of the simplest It consist in essence of a hollow, varnished wooden sound box, or resonator, and a long neck covered with a fingerboard, along which four strings are stretched at high tension The beauty of design, shape, and decoration is no accident, the proportions of the instrument are determined entirely by acoustical considerations Its simplicity of appearance is deceptive About 70 parts are involved in the construction of a violin Its tone and its outstanding range of expressiveness make it an ideal solo instrument No less important, however, is its role as an orchestral and chamber instrument In I combination with the larger and deeper-sounding members of the same family, the violins form the nucleusof the modem symphony orchestra.

by using thinner strings and a far higher string tension Small changes had to be made to the violin's internal structure and to the fingerboard
so that they could withstand the extra strain Accordingly, a higher
standard of performance was achieved, in terms of both facility and interpretation Left-hand technique was considerably elaborated, and new fingering patterns on the fingerboard were developed for very

Insects' lives are very short and they have many enemies, but they

insect-like they look, the better their chance of survival To look
"inedible" by imitating plants is a way frequently used by insects to
survive Mammals rarely imitate plants, but many fish and
The stick caterpillar is well named It is hardly distinguishable from a
brown or green twig This caterpillar is quite common and can be
found almost anywhere in North America It is also called "measuring
worm" or "inchworm." It walks by arching its body, then stretching
out and grasping the branch with its front feet then looping its body
again to bring the hind feet forward When danger threatens, the stick
caterpillar stretches its body away from the branch at an angle and
remains rigid and still, like a twig, until the danger has passed.
Walking sticks, or stick insects, do not have to assume a rigid,
twig-like pose to find protection; they look twig-like inedible twigs in any
position There are many kinds of walking sticks, ranging in size from
the few inches of the North American variety to some tropical species
that may be over a foot long When at rest their front legs are
stretched out, heightening their camouflage Some of the tropical
species are adorned with spines or ridges, imitating the thorny bushes
Leaves also seem to be a favorite object for insects to imitate Many
butterflies can suddenly disappear from view by folding their wings
and sitting quietly among the plants that they resemble.
