Copyright in the Digital Age

When you see the term Media in relation to copyright it's not talking about the news or reporters. Media is plural for medium. A medium is something through which something can be published, broadcasted or otherwise displayed.

For example, images, video, print (books, magazines, ebooks), websites, music, etc. It's really the means in which an idea can be shared.
