Copyright law-

Copyright is when someone else copies your work and claims that it is their own or if they have took it without your permission. It is not copyright if you give the original owner credit and say that it isnt you own work, doing this means that what you are doing is not illegal. It is illegal to display work that isn't yours on the internet claiming it is yours is illegal though. The copyright law applies to music books and branded content (e.g. company logos, business names etc).

Intellectual Property- 

This is designed to help people to protect their ideas and designs. For example a song belongs to the person who wrote it and you need to have permission from them to copy ideas. If you don't have permission then it is illegal. Copy right is the most common type if intellectual property.
