Copyright protection 

A copyright prevents original pieces of work from being copied, replicated, adapted, circulated or used without the owner’s permission. You automatically get copyright protection when you create original literature, software, music, photography, design, films and more.

Whilst copyright protection is automatically generated, you must be able to verify your rights should there be an infringement or dispute. This is because in the UK, there is no registration system for copyrighted materials, meaning you’ll need independent verification to prove your copyright is lawful.
