  • Cease and desist – When finding out that someone is using your copyrighted work without your permission, it is important to address the issue immediately and have the use stopped.

  • Work-for-Hire When commissioning a project, it is essential that you have a written agreement which ensures that you will own the copyright in the project.
  • Licensing – Having your copyrighted work licensed helps produce revenue and results in the spread of your copyrighted work.
