This week I was blessed to learn all there is to know (sort of) about copyright and the limitations that it imposes upon using other peoples work as well as the access others have to our work.

Did you know that as soon as a work is published on the internet it is protected by copyright? WHAAAAT? Me either. Gosh it’s interesting. I could talk about it all day.

In all seriousness, breaching copyright laws can have serious consequences which is why it is important to credit the original sources of ‘borrowed’ materials.

Copyright serves the purpose of protecting the work of people. For real. As a lady who strives to be something in this media industry it is comforting to know that there is protection for my ideas and works.

Someday somebody may stumble across this marvellous blog and wish to pinch a little something something without my permission- this somebody will not do so without punishment.

Burn baby burn.

Your always,
