From my readings all countries have different rules as to the length ofcopyright and the materials to which it applies. In many European countries
Yes, I would think so, in the same sense that (technically) you own
copyright in a letter that you write - the composition is your
intellectual property. My understanding is that one
automatically owns
copyright in one's writing unless one assigns it elsewhere,
but that if
you wish to protect copyright it is sensible to use the
copyright symbol
(c) and add your name and date. I don't think this enhances the
copyright itself, but makes it difficult for someone else to
claim the
could not identify the copyright holder as a defence. (I am not a
lawyer, this is my understanding, and it may only apply in the UK?)
(Presumably somewhere in all the legal jargon when singing up
for a ISP,
you assign them rights to redistribute your email
compositions? Any one
know?)
Publishers often used to ask you to 'assign' copyright in published
work, but nowadays they commonly ask instead for you to offer them an
exclusive licence for certain purposes (so you retain
copyright in your
work). I'm not sure the precise reasons why?
Bernard: I think the thing to bear in mind is that copyright
is a right
automatically assigned to the composer of a text or similar
production.
A teacher - or researcher - cannot (i.e. certainly should
not) publish
students' work (for whatever reasons) without the their (and their
parents', as minors) permission as the work is copyright
simply by being
the creative production of a human being - not because they
are a famous
author or similar. Copyright is not just about work intended for
publication, but is a right associated a person's productions
- whoever
they are, and for whatever purpose they produce it. So, if you wrote
embarrassing love letters many years ago, be reassured they
are covered
by copyright! So are copies of any drafts of papers you
latter changed
before submitting to publication. I suspect is may also apply to your
shopping lists, if inscribed.
At least, that's how I've always understood it - correction
from legal
expertise welcome.
