Copyright Infringement: Watching out for Yourself and Your Art

You have a copyright in your artwork as soon as it has been created and fixed in a tangible object. It does not need to be registered with the copyright office or have a copyright notice attached to receive copyright protection. A copyright lasts for the life of the artist, plus 70 years after the artist’s death.

Generally, copyright infringement happens when a copyrighted work is reproduced, distributed, performed, publicly displayed, or otherwise made into a derivative work without the permission of the rightful copyright owner.
