Copy Right Issues
You must have seen that people steal various things from web, such as images and contents etc. Though it makes their job easy, but they are not considered as legal at all. Copy right law is enforced when it comes to intellectual property. Copy right is actually a set of laws that are approved only to the author or the creator of an original work, such as: right to copy, distribute and edit the work. Over the time, the types of work that come under Copy right have extended a lot. In earlier period, only books come under the copy right law.

But the 19th century’s revised copy right laws have included many more topics, for instance: maps, charts, engravings, prints, musical compositions, dramatic works, photographs, paintings, drawings and sculptures. While in 20th century, the copy right law has expanded its horizon and covered motion pictures, computer programs, sound recordings, Choreography and architectural works.

Web pages are contained with various types of content, images, videos and sometimes audio too. A lot of people visit those web pages and copy the content or images from them and use them for their own purpose without taking the permission of doing so, which is extremely offensive. This kind of activity may lead to serious legal issues.

Therefore, if you are having your own website and want to restrict people from doing such kind of illegal activity, then you have to take some necessary step towards it. Ask your web developer to add an application to your web, so that nothing can be copied from your website. In case you are dealing with image stocks, then put water mark on your images, so that nobody can use them without buying.

However, for better safety, upload low resolution images in your site and then, people can’t use them for various purposes.
