Description: Copyright Companion for Writers--Tonya Evans-Walls, Esq.
Excerpt from the back cover:
Do you know your rights as a writer?
- What is fair use and how is it different from public domain?
- How is a copyright created?
- When and how should copyright be registered?
- How is a copyrighted work protected on the internet?
- How do you get permission to use a work when it is hard to find the owner?
- How is copyright protected internationally?
- What do freelancers and songwriters need to know about copyright?
These are among the many questions addressed in this thorough look at copyright law written specifically for writers who want to know their rights. Through clear and concise explanations and dozens of useful forms, this book debunks myths such as the Poor Man's Copyright and examines the difference between fair use and public domain. Also included: definition of infringement and how to avoid it, how writers may assert claims, and how to obtain permissions to use copyrighted works such as song lyrics, pictures, and quotations.
Hot off the press, this text covers recent amendments to the Copyright Act, ophan works and Google Print--and how they affect you, the writer.
Tonya Evans-Walls is a nationally recognized speaker and a lawyer practicing primarily in the areas of literacy and intellectual property.
