Episode 6 Debunking Copyright Myths for Small Business Owners

Episode Summary: 

Have you heard all sorts of random facts about how copyright law works? Well, then, this video is exactly what you need! Tune in as we debunk some commonly heard copyright myths.

Main Takeaways:

Copyright protects an original work of authorship that has been placed into a tangible medium.

  • In order to take someone to court and sue them for copyright infringement, you must have a copyright registration.

  • Public access doesn’t mean public domain. In order to use something you find online, get written permission.

  • Common law protection is only valid when the work of authorship is published in a tangible medium. Sending yourself an email with the work doesn’t count.

  • If you register your copyright within the first three months of publication, you would be entitled to a larger sum of statutory damages than if you register it later.
