Copyright Basics for Artists, Photographers and Other Creative Types 

A free SCORE Small Business Workshop co-sponsored by Ferguson Library

Without proper copyright protection, it is almost impossible for an artist, photographer or other creative type to build a unique and recognizable “brand” in the marketplace. Every creative professional needs to know the basics of U.S. and international copyright law.

• What is copyright, and why is it important?
• What must you do to claim a copyright? 
• Can I use someone else’s copyrighted work without permission?
• Am I protected when I post my work online? 
• What should I do if I see someone has copied my work without permission?

... and much more
