Description
**This course does not beat about the bush.** This is a distillation of the important copyright law

information that anyone should have, either for a copyright protection or for a defense to a copyright

infringement claim.
If you are an online course creator, author, artist, designer or publisher; you need to protect not only

yourself from any copyright claim made against you but also to protect the work that you have created on

the basis of your specialist knowledge, unique experiences gained over the years and sheer hard work. The

course contains fundamental information about the copyright law principles which law students and

entrepreneurs may also find very useful.
The possibility of copyright litigation is a nightmare for any author. With the increasing and widespread

availability of information and resources, course authors and creators may find themselves in hot waters

even for minor copyright infringements. There are not only civil but also criminal implications for failure

to adhere to the copyright laws.
Generally, it does not matter whether you are aware of the actual copyright owners and whether the owners

have asserted their rights formally under the copyright law in relation to any piece of work that you may

have come across. The liability for the breach of copyright laws is usually strict. This means it does not

matter if the mistake on your part is entirely innocent. Findings of copyright infringements against you as

an author may have severe and negative consequences for your career, reputation, and your personal life.
On the other hand, you also need to protect your work from unscrupulous writers and authors who may simply

steal your idea or work and present as their own with some changes. This may cost you dearly in respect of

your revenues, the impact of infringement on your originality as the learners may not go out of their way

to find out who the certain work belongs to.
The course will inform you about the pitfalls that you need to watch out when embarking on the journey of

developing your online courses.
This course will also guide you as to what steps you need to take in order to make sure that you are not

entering the grey areas of possible copyright infringements, leaving yourself prone to civil litigation or

criminal penalties.
This course is intended for anyone who has already published online courses or thinking of creating one.

This course may prompt you to make amendments to your existing courses and will guide you how to avoid any

copyright issues.
Please note that the guidelines in this course are for information purposes only. It is general in nature

and is presented with the understanding that I am not carrying out any professional legal or non-legal

services to the learners of this course or work. If you are facing any specific or individual challenges or

issues, you are strongly advised to seek professional help from a professionally qualified person according

to your specific and individual needs and requirements.
