We have learnt about copyrights during a class at uni, this enables us to understand what rights we have to our own works and to understand what copyrights mean. Copyrights is what gives the creator full rights to what they have created. This means that if someone wants to use what they have created they must get permission, so it's completely up to them with what happens with there materials. Copyrights cover anyone copying, distributing, public performance and adapting other peoples works. Material that are covered with copyright consist of films, music, images, games, animations and computer apps. If you put a piece of your own work on the internet it is covered but only in the UK. Copyrights can last up to 70 years after the creators death. To prove that a piece of work originate from you, you could deposit it at a solicitor or bank and then send a copy to yourself, this would be include a postmark. Leave the envelope unopened, this would prove that it existed at that point in time.
