Access - sustany/dvg GitHub Wiki

Access is the right to use, communicate, or approach something or someone. Some common usages of the term �access� in a legal sense include:��

• In the context of copyright, the term �access� refers to the ability of a potential infringer to see or obtain the copyrighted material. Access is important in determining whether a potential infringer has in fact illicitly copied the copyrighted material. If the potential infringer has had no access to the copyrighted material, they can make a strong argument that they could not have copied the copyrighted material, and that any similarities between the allegedly infringing work and the copyrighted work are mere coincidences. However,�access�alone�is insufficient to establish copyright infringement.
• In the context of family law, the term �access� is used to describe visitation between the child and the non-custodial parent.
  • Depending on the particulars of the visitation arrangement, the custodial parent may have limited and/or supervised access.
• In the context of real estate, the term �access� is the right and ability to go to and return from one�s own property.
