Copyright is understood as:
‘Copyright entitles the copyright owner to prevent the unauthorised copying (termed infringement) of the relevant work by others. There is no infringement unless actual copying takes place. Infringement occurs as a result of the unauthorised reproduction or publishing of the relevant work, or a substantial part of it, in one way or another. In some cases (where the content of the work is more important than its actual form), infringement takes place if an adaptation (modified form) of the work is made’ (VANSA, 2016: 103-4).
