protection available throughout the world.
Remember, a United States Copyright is only good as long
as you only care about protecting your copyright in the
United States. The Internet and other means of communicating
vast amounts of information make it imperative that your
copyrighted work is protected wherever it may be transmitted.
If your copyrighted work is protected around the world,
you have taken the proper steps to ensure that you will
be paid the most money for your idea.
WHAT
IS COPYRIGHT LICENSING?
Copyright
licensing entails drawing up contracts between you and other
businesses or individuals to pay you money for your copyright.
For example, if someone wants to play music that you wrote
or wants to perform a play that you wrote, that person must
license your copyright. In the case of computer software,
if you want to ensure that only certain people use your
software, then you need to grant each user a license with
specific terms for use of your copyrighted program.
Once someone likes your copyrighted work, you must decide
how much someone should pay you for using your copyright.
