infringement vs violation vs breach

[Елена...]

Доброго всем дня!

Скажите, как на Ваш взгляд, можно ли сделать такое утверждение, что Infringement больше применимо к авторскому праву, violation - к законодательству, а breach - к контракту

т.е.

нарушение авторского права - infringement of the copyright

нарушение закондательства - violation of the Law

нарушение контракта - breach of contract

Заранее благодарна за высказанные мнения.

С уважением,

Елена

Думаю, можно говорить о такой предпочтительной словосочетаемости.

Нижеследующее - выдержки из вебстерского словаря:

in·fringe·ment (in frinjÆmÃnt), n.
1. a breach or infraction, as of a law, right, or obligation; violation; transgression.

vi·o·la·tion (v#ÅÃ l!ÆshÃn), n.

USAGE
BREACH, INFRACTION, VIOLATION, TRANSGRESSION all denote in some way the breaking of a rule or law or the upsetting of a normal and desired state. BREACH is used infrequently in reference to laws or rules, more often in connection with desirable conditions or states of affairs: a breach of the peace, of good manners, of courtesy. INFRACTION most often refers to clearly formulated rules or laws: an infraction of the criminal code, of university regulations, of a labor contract. VIOLATION, a stronger term than either of the preceding two, often suggests intentional, even forceful or aggressive, refusal to obey the law or to respect the rights of others: repeated violations of parking regulations; a human rights violation. TRANSGRESSION, with its root sense of “a stepping across (of a boundary of some sort),” applies to any behavior that exceeds the limits imposed by a law, especially a moral law, a commandment, or an order; it often implies sinful behavior: a serious transgression of social customs, of God's commandments.
