CopyrightsSince 1988, copyright rights exist in any "original work of authorship fixed in a tangible medium of expression". The copyright protects against five unauthorized acts of copying: reproduction, distribution, preparation of derivative works, public display and public performance. Good copyright strategies for businesses include (a) employee education; (b) policing for proper copyright notice; and (c) setting and maintaining policies regarding when to register copyrights. Employee education is first and foremost, because many copyright infringement violations occur by uneducated employees innocently copying subject matter without realizing that their actions are illegal. |
