Why is copyright important in Visual Arts?

• Why must artists have copyright knowledge?-growing developments in "electronic

storage, & transmission of images," • Artists have rights to their own work• They have responsibilities when using others

work• Important for artists who create images—

– painters, illustrators, photographers, designers or art students

(Visualartcopyright.com)

When do I need permission to copy?

• The best way to go is to just seek permission for whatever material you copy and "use"

(copyrightkids.org)

Why is it important in music?•  The music writers should have the same length of

time with copyright protection, but they were only being protected for 60 years after death, which

was unfair• If the composers work was being protected for 70

years after death, the music writers should have as much protection

as only the original as only the original writers/artists/authors profit writers/artists/authors profit
