Copyright FAQs
Copyright is a right that is created automatically under international law when you create an eligible work. However, despite it being an important and long-established right, it is, unfortunately, one of the most frequently breached. When you find yourself in this scenario, you’ll need to prove that you’re the original creator of the work in question along with the date it was created. It may feel obvious to you, the creator, but in practice, it can be very difficult to provide sufficient evidence, often years after the work was originally created.
File Your Copyright, the global copyright registration service, acts as a vital source of independent and credible evidence to help you uphold your rights.
Copyright Law FAQs
Copyright is a right protected by law that prevents others from copying your original work. It also prevents them from using it without your permission.
If a third party copies your work or creates another work that is very similar to your own, copyright enables you to take action against the party that has infringed your copyright.
It is important to note, however, that in order to enforce your rights it is crucial you are able to prove that you created the original work and prove the date it was created.
