Publisher's Synopsis
This is an artists' guide to their rights under copyright law - whether
they have been commissioned to do some work, if the works are
transformed into different media, resale rights, 'substantial copying',
marketing and promo literature, multiple copyrights, dealing with
groups such as DACS and putting your work into art libraries and visual
search engines. Copyright law is a grey area for many artists and yet
it is vitally important that they understand what their rights are and
how to make money from these rights. In this book, the author dispels a
lot of the myths that have grown up about the subject and explains the
do's and don'ts and the pros and cons of how to make the most of
artists' copyright entitlements. This is a useful guide for anyone
working in the field of the arts.
