Tonight I read a very interesting down to earth article, about Copyright, on the Internet for Artists, Designers Crafters etc….

Ive read many legal documents, plus all my work is registered with the Copyright Councils but it still seems to be a free for all at times on the Internet

As a professional artist who works hard in the studio to create something special for others, I don’t like to think that someone can come along and steal my images ideas writing photography etc… and whack them on t shirts coffee mugs or print them out and then claim the art work as their own.

Its definitely stealing and it’s not on…….. I’m also very aware as soon as I put something up on the Internet I’m taking risks but as with all business’s Artists need to promote and market their work to a global market After all this is how we make a living

Here is the article from “Impatient Blogger” where Margo Potter says it so beautifully.

Thanks Margo!
