1. What is content copyright?
Copyright is one of the most important rights when it comes to content. We also know it under the English term copyright . Copyright is the exclusive right of the creator of a work of literature, science or art to make that work public and to reproduce it, subject to restrictions set by law.
2. How do you get copyright on your content?
Copyright comes naturally to you. Your content must be sufficiently creative for that. It must have its own and original character and bear the stamp of the creator. So it may not be too banal and trivial. The starting point is that the creator is usually also the copyright holder.
“Content” is broad, by the way. From blogs and e-books to paintings, social media posts, podcasts, webinars, films and series.
The purpose of a source reference is to link the work and the name of the creator of that work. It must therefore be sufficiently clear which name belongs to which work. Therefore, always mention – if reasonably possible – both the name of the creator and the source.
Also good to know:
Including only the link to a website, without the name of the creator, is not allowed.
Using the word 'source' as a hyperlink to a website is not allowed.
