Copyright
Whether you are an author, an artist, a software designer or a teacher, the
likelihood that someone will infringe your copyright, or that you will need to
protect the copyright in your work, is very high.
The protection of copyright in Australia arises automatically upon the
creation of an original work and does not depend upon a system of registration.
As the copyright in your creative endeavour can be the life-blood of your
business, it is essential that all appropriate measures are taken to ensure the
adequate protection of your copyright work.
