COPYRIGHT:
We
take the
theft of our
original
work very
seriously
and have
registered
this
website,
content and
images to
protect the
copyright.
The
Copyright
Act.
Copyright
gives the
creators of
a wide range
of material,
such as
literature,
art, music,
design of
images,
economic
rights
enabling
them to
control use
of their
material in
a number of
ways, such
as by making
copies,
issuing
copies to
the public,
performing
in public,
broadcasting
and use
on-line. It
also gives
moral rights
to be
identified
as the
creator of
certain
kinds of
material,
and to
object to
distortion
or
mutilation
of it.
(Material
protected by
copyright is
termed a
"work".)
However,
copyright
does not
protect
ideas, or
such things
as names or
titles.
The purpose
of copyright
is to allow
creators to
gain
economic
rewards for
their
efforts and
so encourage
future
creativity
and the
development
of new
material
which
benefits us
all.
Copyright
material is
usually the
result of
creative
skill and/or
significant
labour
and/or
investment,
and without
protection,
it would
often be
very easy
for others
to exploit
material
without
paying the
creator.
Most uses of
copyright
material
therefore
require
permission
from the
copyright
owner.
Copyright
protection
is automatic
as soon as
there is a
record in
any form of
the material
that has
been
created, and
there is no
official
registration
or form or
fee. But
creators can
take certain
steps to
help prove
that
material is
theirs.
