Copyrights

Copyrights are legal protections that give creators of original works the right to control the use and distribution of their works. This includes a wide range of creative products, including:

– Literary works (books, articles)

– Musical works (songs, compositions)

– Visual works (paintings, photographs)

– Films and television programs

– Software and computer programs

Copyright gives the creator the right to reproduce, publish, and display their work. It also includes the ability to grant permission to others to use their work for a fee or under specific conditions.

It is important to note that copyright automatically comes into effect the moment an original work is created and fixed in a concrete form. Registration is not required to obtain copyright protection; however, registration can help with the burden of proof in the event of legal disputes.

The rights apply for a certain period, typically 70 years after the creator’s death. After that, the work becomes publicly available.

In Denmark, copyright is primarily regulated by the Copyright Act, which establishes the rights of both creators and users. Violation of these rights can lead to legal action and claims for damages.

In summary, copyright protects the creative efforts of individuals and organizations by ensuring they have control over their own works, thereby promoting innovation and creativity in society.

In certain cases, it may be possible to use protected images without permission under the “fair use” rule, but this is often complicated and depends on the context and how the image is used. However, the best thing to do is contact Engelund Fotos here.

Watermarking of digital products

Digital watermarking is a way to protect copyrighted material. When you purchase and download images and e-books through engelundfotos.dk, the files are stamped with a digital watermark. The watermark consists of information in the file, containing your order number. The watermark does not affect the file format and does not make it difficult to download or use the files. The watermark documents that the files you download belong to you. All copying, except for your private use, and further unlawful distribution is prohibited. You are responsible for not spreading the files to other users and for taking a backup copy for your own use. If your files go astray, and for example end up on a file sharing site, we can use a decoder to find your order number. The watermarking continues even if the file is transferred from one device to another. You should also be aware that you are only purchasing the right to use for personal use.
