Copyright is everywhere - from the cereal box at breakfast, to the movies on TV in the evening.
Why?
We are all consumers of copyright – the music we listen to, the books we read, the movies we watch, the shows we attend, the social media we engage with – all are subject to copyright. It’s all “other people’s stuff” and we need their permission, either directly or indirectly to use it.
Copyright, in most cases, works very well, but when it goes wrong, it can cause great damage to both finances and reputation.
I have been involved with copyright for over 30 years and I’ve been running © HERE for 20 years.
About Me.
I have been involved with copyright for over 30 years and I’ve been running © HERE for 20 years. In that time, I have gained a comprehensive knowledge of copyright legislations and licensing and how they relate to education, business and the voluntary sector.

Something to say
Blog
Raised awareness of copyright (and other aspects of intellectual property that will be referred to in this blog) can bring considerable benefit to all those who either are trying to protect their own creative content or are using third party content in their own work. Those benefits can help you be profitable, cut costs, share your content and stay out of jail.
“Copyright in a World of Digital Delivery”
Here’s a link to a webinar I contributed to on Friday 3 April 2020 as part of the Virtual Bridge series, organised and operated by Jisc and College Development Network.
My brief was “Now that we’re delivering the curriculum online for the most part, what does this mean for copyright as the content we share becomes wholly digital? No more photocopying or physical handouts as content is delivered via digital text, audio and video. Where does copyright fit in with this and what does it mean in terms of licences and legislation?”
A recording of the webinar is here:
