Copyright Information

For those of you selling your homemade goods on the internet:

Did you get copyright for these items? If so........ Would you mind telling me how one does that? I was thinking making up postcards and greeting cards using my own pictures and some prints......as well as some topper and paper-piecing type things for scrapbooking...

and I'm just not sure how to go about it.

TIA for any information you can pass my way...

Hi Donna,

Just about everything you create is copyrighted and belongs to you. You hold the copyright to the words and pictures you have created. You cannot copyright an idea, however. This link will provide you with an overview of all the digital protection laws out there:

you are using photos or artwork created by another person, thematerial has to be either royalty or copyright-free, or used withpermission. Some stickers/ picture CD-ROMs have usage guides that varyfrom product to product. For example, Dover Publications is quitespecific about how many images from one of their products you may useat one time.

Best, Christine

This is true...but you can put a copyright claim on your website. I did with mine. (for example :
