Photo Rights 102

OK, Don’t believe me about protecting your rights of your content? I spoke about it a few months ago with my Blogging Photo Rights 101. Now I want to talk about how you should protect the content you have. Yesterday’s post about being paid fair is only half of it. You need to make sure no one, and even more so, big media is making money off of your hard work. This includes music, photos, painting, your blog. It’s yours and you should stand up for your (copy)rights.

The Washington Post today has an article about companies such as Fox, Virgin Mobile, and Microsoft using people’s work and not wanting to pay for it. Actually just stealing it and not even telling them. In the article Niall Kennedy is quoted as saying “This is a company that goes after copyright violators with the assumption of guilty until proven innocent.” Damn right, so why let someone like that steal from you?

So take little time and read the article
