In the decades and centuries of past, the copyright over the artistic and creative rights of an individual, business, or entity was confined to the realm of physical mediums, such as books and printed images. All that many authors and creators had to worry about were illegitimate counterfeit copies of their intellectual property. With the advancement of technology and the internet, however, a new host of problems have arisen. An artist's painting can be transmitted to thousands of computers with the click of a mouse, and the scanned pages of a book can be stored on a server for anyone who has access to it to see and read. It is scenarios such as these which entailed the establishment of intellectual property laws for the internet. An internet copyright lawyer is proficient at addressing these concerns and outlining the process of obtaining an internet copyright to his or her client.
