The law states anything you produce yourself is your property such as a photograph, or artwork, or music, but it does mean that it needs to be an original piece and not a picture or stolen version of somebody else's work. for example. A photographer's right is to take a photo of anyone in the street as street photography (unless asked not to) and the image will be their property not the subjects. This means the photographer will own the image and the rights to it rather than the subject. Of course there are exceptions to this such as if the photographer is working for a corporate identity while that photo shoot is active the corporate will own the images unless if there is a preset contract beforehand to say that the photographer has the rights to the photos.
This is common, as a digital industry specialist you need to be careful of copyright laws and need a preset contract and know what the contract contains of to know how these things work or else you can be taken advantage off. As the author of the work, you alone have the right to do any of the following or to let others do any of the following:
- Make copies of your work;
- Distribute copies of your work;
- Perform your work publicly (such as for plays, film, dances or music);
- Display your work publicly (such as for artwork, or stills from audiovisual works, or material used on the Internet or television);
- Make “derivative works” (including making modifications, adaptations or other new uses of a work, or translating the work to another media).
RAG123: A1 - I understood the task, I need to do more research in depth about copyright laws. I think I worked well but just need to pick up my pace at writing.
A2: Clear basic research conducted. In order to progress consider how this can contextualise your own work, for example who will copyright affect digitising your source material and production of your final outcome?
