The other week we had a lecture on copyright and I found it really helpful and informative. I knew a few basics about the copyright laws but after the lecture I felt I knew a lot more, however it does seem very complicated with all the different aspects within it. I think the safest thing to do if I am to promote my work is to send it to myself by recorded post to prove if need be that it is my original work. If I wanted to take my work further and eventually sell it I think it would then be best to actually pay for it to be copyrighted to stop anyone else from using or taking it and trying to pass it off as their own.
