Original, tangible creative work done by someone is known as intellectual property. This work is usually protected by the law meaning that access, use and distribution of intellectual property is controlled (Miller, 2000). Intellectual property is not open to public use. According to the World Intellectual property organ of the UN, the rights to intellectual property relate to human inventions, literary and scientific works, designation trademarks and artistic performances. Other areas that are covered by WIPO include scientific discoveries, industrial designs and phonograms. There are two categories of intellectual property. The first category comprises the patents, trademarks and industrial designs which are protected by the industrial property rights. The second category comprises artworks, literary works, music and computer programs and they are protected under copyrights. Intellectual property laws exist to allow creative and innovative people to benefit from their creations and innovations. Any one who makes an effort to develop something deserves credit for their efforts. For example, if an enterprise develops a marketing logo, no other enterprise should use it to market its own goods and services without a permit from owners of the logo. Protection of intellectual property promotes creativity because if people are allowed to copy without permission, creativity would be stifled (Maskus, 2008). Though there are laws that protect intellectual property rights, violations of intellectual property around the world are still pervasive. There are millions of people earning money from intellectual property belonging to creative artists and scientists without their permission. The area that has been hardest hit by violation of intellectual property ownership rights is Music. The digital revolution came as a boon to the music industry because it created newer and state of the art methods of making music but the same revolution came to haunt the artists. Digital revolution made music piracy easier and music artists have been losing million of dollars to pirates. Music piracy has become so serious that music albums have been leaking to the pirates way before the artist launches their albums and this really affected the growth of the music industry because artists are not reaping enough money from their efforts. Another area that has been affected by piracy made easy by the digital revolution is the movie industry. Very few people especially in third world countries buy original movies due to the prevalence of pirated copies. Violations of intellectual property rights are also very pervasive in the literary circles. Plagiarism is one of the ways that facilitate violation of intellectual property rights. Plagiarism is the ownership of original literary works done by another party without their permission. This is one of the most common violations of intellectual property in the academic circles. Students and tutors have been using works of arts belonging to other writers without their permission and without giving the owners of the work the credit they deserve. Apart from plagiarism, violation of intellectual property in the literary world occurs when literary works are duplicated. Instead of buying books, there are people who duplicate so
