Firstly, I will like to explain the concept of new media art. New media art is in general all forms of art and practices which uses digital technology as an essential part of creating or presentation media. New media art can include a very wide range of things, from books, drawings, music, stories, to games, movies, videos, animations.
Most new Media art can be understand as art which involves digital devices, which is in contrast of visual art, that has physical presentation such as painting, sculpture. Hence, most are able to be transferred and shared through computer and internet. These are often known as digital media, because the new media are is stored in a digital form. (Australia Government)
Copyright
Secondly, I will like to explain the concept of copyright. Copyright is a legal law concept which grants exclusive rights to the author and publishers for their work. Usually copyright also provides financial protection for the author and publishers, as well as the right to be credited. In general, copyright can be understood as the right to copy, and the right is usually granted by the author or the publishers.
Due to the international copyright agreement in the international treaties which grants protection of all creative work automatically, most of the creators of new media art are granted copyright rights for their work. (More Detail)
However, new media art is digital media, and can be easily copy and shared through the internet. As the result, the copyright for the new media art is unable to be easily enforced.
When someone uses unauthorized work under copyright, he convicts an action called copyright infringement, because he is infringing the exclusive rights of the copyright holder (US Copyright Office). This action is also known as piracy – the pirate of copyright.
