copyright

1. A seal of authenticity to avoid having one's idea and/or product stolen or ripped-off by others. This usually has no influence on secondary markets.

2. The modern definition is abused and tossed around by stupid teenagers without the knowledge that you have to buy a copyright before their said item is actually protected.

1. A small Chinese store breaks the copyright of Hasbro/Takara Transformers by repainting them different colors and calling them "Changeformers".

2. "Look at my crappy Photoshop image, LoL. Copieright by me, 2005."
