What are the different types of copyright infringement?
Jenny is an amateur writer. She is writing a book about traveling experiences around the world. Jenny is currently writing about her travails in Portugal and refers to a book written by her, a year ago, about the different tourist destinations in Portugal.

She has lifted a 400 worded paragraph from a 550 worded article of a photographer who also visited Portugal way back in the 1970s. Jenny has referred to one of her friends to get information about the place and jotted it down while writing. She did not re-check the facts after writing it down.

She never inserted the in-text citation or quoted the passage copied from the author’s article. Jenny has however cited the copyright images incorporated in her work. She has used many copyright images of different travelers from around the world. She has also paraphrased three lines from a website and included it in her book.

In the passage, the types of copyright infringement Jenny can indulge in while writing the book include:

1. **Plagiarism:** Jenny lifted a 400-word paragraph from another author's article without attribution. This constitutes plagiarism, as she did not give credit to the original author.

2. **Failure to provide citations:** Although Jenny referred to her own past work, she did not insert in-text citations or quote the passage copied from the photographer’s article, which is a requirement to avoid copyright infringement.

3. **Paraphrasing without attribution:** Jenny paraphrased three lines from a website and included them in her book without acknowledging the source, which is also a form of copyright infringement.

However, Jenny's use of copyrighted images might fall under the categories of fair use or may require permission, depending on the context and use of those images.

In summary, the key types of copyright infringement in this scenario are plagiarism, failure to provide citations, and unauthorized paraphrasing.
