Copyright for creative

This was one of the most helpful workshops I attended. The speech was given by a journalism lecturer that works at the university. I have always been unsure on the rules and laws surrounding the copyrights of my own creative works. I found out that there is legislation that protects intellectual property of a creative. This covers the original work of an individual effort. I used to think that copyright was something that had to be bought but this lecture taught me that once my ideas had became a tangible work, it was protected by this legislation. I will now make sure that my work does not become orphaned and I can always prove the copyright belongs to me. The Copyright designs and patents act cover me in ways that mean if my work is stolen or used unlawfully I will receive compensation. I will fully take on board all of the information I gained from this lecture and have no criticisms of it.
