At the beginning of each year, one of the regular website tasks is to update your copyright notice in your footer. But what is a copyright notice, and why do you need one on your small business website? Websites & Copyright Law in AustraliaI need to kick this off by stating I am not a lawyer, so this is not legal advice, but my best understanding of Australian copyright law and website best practice. Copyright is a type of intellectual property law. It is different from copywriting, which is when someone writes an article or other text. (For example, we do website copywriting where we the write the words for our client’s websites.) Copyright helps to protect the creators of original content and to determine how their work can be used. It covers things and materials such as words, source code, illustrations, and other images, but not ideas, styles, techniques, names, or slogans. |
