GUIDELINES FOR COPYRIGHT HOLDERS

What is an image and what is an original?
Images include photographic artwork and images, drawings, illustrations, paintings and collage.
Originals are pictures that are delivered to and used by a buyer in either analogue or digital form.

Copyright law is simple:
Always ask first!
Your artwork is protected by copyright law. In the same way as a patent protects an invention and trademark laws protect a brand name, copyright law protects the rendition of a motif.
The legislation applies to both analogue and digital use. Asking permission to use a picture on the Internet, an intranet or a DVD is essential.
This guide only gives a brief introduction to copyright law and other legislation relevant to copyright holders. It does not pretend to give in depth answers to all your queries. If you need more information, make sure you contact one of the trade organisations
