How do cartographers protect their work against copyright infringement?

There have been stories (some true) of fake towns or locations added to maps and road atlases to protect the copyright of maps.  These phoney places are  called "copyright traps."  This "trapping" isn't used only on maps but supposedly within other printed/published genre too.\n\nhere's a bit of info on this:\n\nhttp://www.straightdope.com/classics/a4_165.html\n\nhttp://www.mcwetboy.net/maproom/2005/11/copyright_traps.phtml\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trap_street

I don't see where it is a bit illegal for you to make the image as long as you aren't redistributing or reselling copies of the game for profit and gain. That is the copywrite act you hear everyone screaming about. As long as you only copy it for yourself to load up with a virtual drive or something like that to keep the game cd in good condition nobody would ever know unless you tell them.

What does copyright protect?\n\nCopyright, a form of intellectual property law, protects original works of authorship including literary, dramatic, musical, and artistic works, such as poetry, novels, movies, songs, computer software, and architecture. Copyright does not protect facts, ideas, systems, or methods of operation, although it may protect the way these things are expressed\n\nhttp://www.copyright.gov/help/faq/faq-protect.html

because you could sue them after if they sue it without permission so no one will ever see it.    you have to send it to a publishing house AFTER you get copyrighted etc....and then let them shop it around iof its any good..if not..it ends uyp with all hte otehr millions of wasted pieces of paper

Cartographers have drawn many different kinds of maps, or projections. Each map projection is a different way of showing the round earth on a flat map. Drawing an accurate map gives cartographers a huge problem. It is impossible to draw a round planet on a flat surface without distorting, or misrepresenting, some parts of the earth. Each kind of map projection has some distortion. Typical distortions involve distance, direction, shape, and/or area.

If you don't upload you are less likely to get into trouble, as people who share (give as well as take) copyrighted music are far more likely to attract attention and get a lawsuit filed.\n \nPlus someone that shares say 1000s of latest chart songs is more likely to be sued than someone who has a small collection of classical and opera music.\n\nBut no it won't help prevent you from getting seen in the first place, just take my word for it you get no privacy on the internet. \n\nBut saying all this, don't stop uploading to p2p (if everyone did p2p wouldn't exist).

It's usually a good idea to ask before printing someone else's material. If you're looking for a good regular sudoku site that allows you to use in a print source, try http://www.brainbashers.com/sudoku.asp. All he asks is that you use his copyright notice, and send him a copy of the first printing. The puzzles he creates are wonderful, and there's one out every day.

Charge 1000 times as much as you would here. They'll only buy 1 copy & reverse engineer it. They don't respect copyrights and have a long history of infringement.

I found these off Google image search, so some of them might be copyright protected:\nhttp://www.istockphoto.com/file_thumbview_approve/370109/2/istockphoto_370109_post_it_note.jpg\nhttp://www.myjanee.com/tuts/postit/postit17.jpg\nhttp://www1.istockphoto.com/file_thumbview_approve/534180/2/istockphoto_534180_postit_notes.jpg

Both.  \nYou can be sued for money damages (and injunctions) for violation of copyright.\nYou can also be charged with criminal copyright infringement and sentenced to prison, and fined.

Sorry, your only option is encryption at this point. However, if you go through the copyright process with the government you can claim damages for any who tamper with your data. It is difficult but doable. In the meanwhile, even with a copyright you will need to encrypt in order to keep others from tampering. Now, you can use a read only disk. Then they can read what is on it but they can not write from it to another CD. Just go in and click on Properties, then check the "read only" box. That way they can read but not write.

IF you own the rights to the images, ie you took them and they are yours. You will then need to find music from an unsigned artist, and get their permission to use their music ..

Downloading and uploading are both legal in and of themselves. The only problem is when you make copies of copyrighted material without the permission of the rightful owner. Exceptions exist if the copy is being made for personal backup, for news reporting or education.\n\nSometimes artists and production agencies won't "go after" uploaders or downloaders, depending on which file-sharing systems are used and how easy it is to locate the users. My suggestion is that even without a threat of prosecution or a lawsuit that you cease from future illegal file-sharing because the artists and their agencies have the ethical right to control the fruits of their labor, not you.

Good question.  Cartographers then have to do the ground work. By using a compass and an instrument to measure distance, the cartographers can then begin drawing a map.  A Dumpy level would also help to get the elevation of mountain ranges and rivers.  A sextant and a solar compass would be helpful if these are available to a fix on latitude and longitude of a point.\nHope this helps.  Please remember the precision and accuracy of this map will have significant error.
