Where are you based, Sandy? Copyright is an automatic right in most jurisdictions, which means you don’t have to do anything. If you’re in the USA, or your work is likely to be seen there, you can if you wish register works with the United States Copyright Office (USCO), for a small fee.

Thks to @graemedowniemp.bsky.social for asking about steps the @ukgov.bsky.social will take to stop unlawful use of #creators work in training datasets. Hope that @feryalclark.bsky.social will listen to what we ( @assocphoto.bsky.social ) & others have to say.

#Photographers - if you’re working as a #professional #photographer, it’s worth remembering that unless you’re formally assigning #copyright in your work to your #clients, you’re engaged in #licensing the use of your #intellectualproperty, so it pays to get your #ducksinarow and do it properly 🙌🏽.
