Workshop Outline
Copyright law and how you protect your writing can seem very complicated. Do you need to register it? How long does it last? What happens to your copyright when you die?
There are other rights you might need to be aware of such as moral rights. What do they relate to?
There may be photographs you’ve seen and which you want to use for an article or in a book. Do you need permission to use them? Who owns the copyright on those? Is there a time limit?
And what about song lyrics? Can you add a line or two from a song to your work?
You may have all these questions and more concerning rights relating to writing. This workshop delves into all the ins and outs of them.
This workshop is run by Budding Writers in partnership with The Writers Bureau.
