ASMP: Copyright Application Tutorial

Enforcing your rights - What to do if you've been infringed...

In a perfect world, if you found someone using your image without your permission, you would send him a bill for use without your permission, he would pay you and you would be done with it. If he didn’t pay, you could threaten to sue, and he would quickly realize that the cost to go through the process was too much to bear, so he would settle with you and you receive a check. In the real world, however, some people just ignore your rights and threats, and you have to make a decision on what to do next.

Copyright Protections for Photographers

Copyright is the legal concept that once an original expression of a creative process is fixed in a tangible medium, like a photograph on film, that expression belongs to the creator who has the exclusive right to control and authorize its reproduction, distribution, public display, or performance. Copyright is the single greatest protection that any creator of intellectual property has at their disposal. It is what allows us to control the use of, and to profit from, the fruits of our creative efforts and to enforce certain claims against even much larger corporations. Copyright is not intended to stifle the sharing of information, merely to guarantee that the creators of that information have a right to make a decent living. There are plenty of exceptions to copyright protection written into the laws which guarantee the free exchange of information for academics, research, news, teaching, and other legitimate intellectual pursuits.

Alerting addicts of the arts!

After careful and painstaking deliberation, the name of our creative's support group has finally emerged from many stupid combinations of keywords.

CREATIVE FORGE AND THE TINY WASTELAND officially opens its doors and invites you to our first meeting on July 3rd 2005.

Location: Jen's House
Time: 3pm - when we get done.
I know some of you may not be in town for the 4th of July weekend, and so be it. Come next time. Nothing to cry about...

This months theme is REBORN SUMMERTIME FANTASY, but remember, you don't have to keep with the theme. The themes are just there to get you started, if you need it. If you are particularly proud of something that you've created in June 2005, bring it along for all to see.

Now, START CREATING!
