Copyright

Copyright protects many things, from music to any designs which you have made. Copyright is an automatic thing as soon as you make it. This means that once something has been copyrighted, any person other than you is not aloud to use it unless they have your permission, but there has to be proof that they can use it.


However, copyright does not protect ideas for work, so if you have an idea which you think is good but you haven;t done it yet, then it is not copyrighted, so you have to of actually done the idea to show proof that it is yours. If you haven’t got it copyrighted, then it is always good to post it to yourself so that you have the date, otherwise someone could see your work, copy it, then say that you have ripped them off.


Once something has got the ‘c’ in a circle symbol it means that it has been copyrighted, so you can’t use take it, or do anything with it, otherwise it is against the law.
