20. How do Intellectual Property Rights provide protection
to digital work ? Write any two ways to avoid plagiarism.
Intellectual Property Rights (IPRs) provide protection to digital works by granting

Two ways to avoid plagiarism:

it is essential to give proper credit by citing the original source.
2. Paraphrasing and Summarizing: Instead of directly copying digital

involves rephrasing the content in a new form without changing its
meaning, while summarizing involves condensing the main points of
the content.
