5 Essential Facts About Copyright
-
✅ The Creator Holds the Copyright – Unless the rights are explicitly transferred or sold, the creator retains the copyright to their work.
-
✅ Licensing = Permission, Not Ownership – When you purchase a license, you're paying for the right to use the content for your business. However, the content itself remains the intellectual property of the creator.
-
✅ Non-Exclusive Rights Means Open Access – If you don’t acquire exclusive rights, the creator can still use or license the content to others, including competitors.
-
✅ Online Activity = Legal Responsibility – Just as you follow traffic laws, you must also understand and comply with copyright laws when sharing or using content online.
-
✅ Copyright Also Protects You – The law ensures that your original content, including photos or creative work you post online, cannot be used by others without your permission.
