If you come across a publisher, client or competition organiser and find that they are taking liberties with your copyright or imposing unfair contract terms over reproduction rights, please report them in the copyright alerts forums

What is copyright? How do I protect my work? What do I do if someone asks to use my photographs? What can I do if someone uses them without asking? Why should I even care?

All these questions and more are answered here in a simple and straightforward manner and with the focus on UK law.

Thanks to the web there are now few distinctions between professional and amateur photographers. Both have the capability to show, market and distribute their work globally.
