Copyright Protection Issues
So, what is a Copyright anyway?
Copyright is an automatic protection over creative work published by an author: hence no registration is required to protect such work. Copyright will give the author rights to control the reproduction of their work. ‘Creative’ work includes:
-
Literature (articles, novels, lyrics)
-
Art (photographs, logos, paintings, architecture)
- Music
- Sound Recordings
- Films
- Broadcasts
It should be noted that names, titles or slogans cannot be copyrighted – these would be classed as trademarks and are protected by a separate law (and process).
