has anyone copy writted their work! im thinking of doing it as im getting my website put together and it would be kinda helpful! i ahve no clue how to go about it. you can do it on the internet but can i trust them??? rahhh!!! also any ideas where i can get prints done of my work?
I wouldnt really bother, laws change from country to country, in the uk you just need to put a copyright notice. I would just watermark your photos in photoshop. How big do you want to print your prints?
in germany, your work is automatically copyrighted. you don't need to do anything as long as it is your work, you always have the rights to your own things. If you have only digital artwork, putting a watermark on them will keep people from downloading them and printing them themselves
awwww thanks man! i dont mean photoprints btw.....i mean the proper prints that people get done of their work and sell them. hey ahers do you find it hard to say bye bye to apintings when youve sold them? got to say bye bye to one of mine this week! :-(
arlia, i dont know two craps on copywriting, but i know whenever i'm here on this forums, and see your paintings, i always love them so much. keep on shining, and God bless you. keep on following that heart of yours, and keep sharing all your work with us!!! =) much much love, and peace
I'd guess you'd just have to put a copyright notice on the print, all you have to do in the UK. Not really sold much stuff, and no I dont find it hard, chucked most of my work away apart from stuff I've done in the last year or so. A couple I would miss though
awwww thanks very much! will do! il let everyone know about my website when it is up aswell. maybe i should go back to collge and ask my lecturers what to do?
do what you do!!! if you feel the lecturer's have something to share with you, see what they have to share. i think if you just follow that heart, and love that good god of yours, and you know it'll be how it's supposed to. that doesn't mean do everything yourself - be the lone gypsie, even though there is beauty in that =P. just, do what you feel, take it slow, and witness all the beauty manifest itself around you as life and your dreams take off. painting, and whatever. =P i'm writing this here for you, and for me right now in my own life, and all my funky dreams that are being sat on =P much much muchhhh love, god bless, and peace. ~Ethan
Something you may want try would be taking a photograph of your work & mailing it to yourself. As long as it's sealed and stamped by the postal service (which should include a small printed date when it was stamped) it'll hold up in court as evidence that you possessed the original work prior to the date the party in question sold your work... Not exactly sure how the courts work where you are but I know this will work in the states. The important thing is making sure it remains sealed. The judge has to open it.
