Copyright Basics: How to Create, Protect, and Transfer Legal Rights in Your Works
A Guest Post by Patti Jenkins, Hogue Hill, LLP
I often get questions from artists and writers about the legal rights they have in the works they create. Below are responses to questions I am often asked:
- What rights do I own in a work I have created? How long do those rights last?
- Do I need to do anything more to protect those rights?
- What happens when I sell or give away that work?
- Can I use someone else’s work in my work?
