I WANT MY SALSAL
I wanna be the very best Like no one ever was To catch them is my real test To train them is my cause

I will travel across the land Searching far and wide Each Pokemon to understand The power that's inside

Pokemon, its you and me

know it?s my destiny Pokemon, oh, you're my best friend In a world we must defend Pokemon, a heart so true Our courage will pull us through

You teach me and I'll teach you Pokemon, gotta catch 'em all

Gotta catch 'em all! POKEMON!!!

 * 1) **Copyright protects the economic interests of writers, artists, musicians and other creative professionals in the fruits of their intellectual labor. Copyrights affect both business and personal use of a wide variety of common items; infringing on someone's copyright can create legal and economic problems at home and at work. Copyright protects intangible intellectual property; it is separate from the physical work with which it is associated. A person may own the physical painting hanging on her living room wall, but the artist still owns the copyright in the image of that painting. The person owns the physical painting subject to the artist's copyrights, and cannot make posters or note cards from the image of the painting without the artist's permission. In addition to art, you cannot legally duplicate many other common household items, including computer software, movies, and music recordings, without the copyright holder's permission. Copyright affects business decisions in a myriad of ways on a daily basis. Images and text for business websites, advertisements and newsletters are all subject to copyright law. Selecting copyrighted materials for business publications without permission, such as lifting photographs from the Internet somewhere other than a photo bank, which states that the images are in the public domain, can subject the business to a costly copyright infringement lawsuit. Creative intellectual property has economic value. Copyright protection attaches to every original creative work as soon as it moves from a mere idea to being in a tangible state -- including preliminary sketches on a cocktail napkin. Every drawing, poem or speech that a person writes is a copyright-protected asset. Creative ideas can become extremely valuable over time. **


 * 1) **Copyright infringement damages the income for music, gaming, and filming industries, as well as many other information-based businesses. With a high level of copyright infringement producers of such goods have difficulty funding their business or making a living. Aspiring music or film producers may be disappointed to find that their goods are rendered insubstantial due to copyright abuse. A prevalent opinion is that copyright does not harm the producers; however it is breaking the law to compromise the income of such people by distributing their goods without legal authority. The internet has revolutionised work for aspiring musicians and other independent artists. Though they now have access to a larger market, copyright infringement means that they cannot rely on a steady income without a larger number of fans. Given the vast content of the internet, it is impossible to monitor all copyrighting without giving up the privacy and freedom of people. This is a social issue and people need to be made aware of the dangers of copyright. **
