Working online can often raise a number of legal questions, and one that I’ve found to be particularly relevant to online entrepreneurs is copyright.  It’s a common scenario: we provide work for someone online of an intellectual nature, or we hire someone to do the same for us.  So what’s the deal, and what can you do if you feel your rights are being impinged upon?

Anything you write or create is automatically your intellectual property.  No one can use your material without your permission, and you have the right to sell or lease your rights as required, although that does complicate the issue.  If someone uses your content without your permission, you have the right to ask them to remove what you have created, and seek damages accordingly.

This is of most relevance in situations where you don’t receive payment for work you have completed for a client – if they don’t pay you, there is no way the copyright can pass UNLESS – and here’s the but – UNLESS you know someone is using your content and you do nothing about it.  What this means in practice is that if you don’t get paid, you can turn round and refuse the right to use your material.  If they don’t oblige, you can ultimately pursue them through the courts in order to win damages.

It’s important to remember your legal position in relation to copyright, whatever side of the fence you’re on.  Again, many people think they know the law, but make sure you really do know what you’re talking about before you start making threats.
