Copyrights

The development and popularity of the Internet allowed creators and artists to reach an unlimited audience, but also posed new risks. The ease with which content and works once uploaded on the Internet can be copied and further distributed has meant that it is in the digital environment that copyright infringements are most common.

In Europe, a creative and original work is protected by copyright from the moment of creation. Protection does not require registration nor preparation of a formal application. However, it is worth to take conscious steps to protect your copyrights in the best possible way.
