8 Little Known Copyright Violations
You Should Stop Doing

By Therese Aseoche

Moments from Volleyfriends UAAP Volleyball Kick Off SHAD

When our schools fail to teach Intellectual Property Rights extensively or at all, we’re left to tread a fine line between fair use and infringement.

We call out big corporations guilty of design theft, but fail to realize the little things we do that promote it when the same lines blur. So before you start badmouthing the big guys, stop yourself from doing these simple copyright violations.

8. Reposting work

View this post on Instagram

I've been pretty quiet about this, until now. Over the past year, @zara has been copying my artwork (thanks to all that have tipped me off–it's been a lot of you). I had my lawyer contact Zara and they literally said I have no base because I'm an indie artist and they're a major corporation and that not enough people even know about me for it to matter. I plan to further press charges, but even to have a lawyer get this LETTER has cost me $2k so far. 〰 It sucks and it's super disheartening to have to spend basically all of my money, just to defend what is legally mine. ⚡️ EDIT: Some of you are asking how you can help. Repost and tag them, on Twitter, on Insta, on Facebook. I don't want to have to burden any of you with the financial strain that comes with lawsuits.

A lot of Facebook and Pinterest accounts are guilty of this, to the bane of most online content creators. What reposting work does is it robs the original poster’s views and shares that he or she rightfully deserves. Whether the repost credits the original or not becomes a moot point. So unless the original artist or designer expresses explicit permission to repost, then don’t assume that it’s fine for their work to be published elsewhere.

 


7. Sharing posts without credit

You may not have been the first person who reposted that photo without the photographer’s proper consent, but that doesn’t mean you’re off the hook when you share it on your feed. You’re letting more and more people see the stolen work with a third party source. Don’t mire yourself into the culture of blind sharing and check if credit is given where credit is due.

 

6. Posing in front of art without credit

Ever been guilty of going to Pinto Art Museum or Art Fair PH less for the art appreciation, but more for a prettier Instagram feed? Taking photos of, and with, artwork could be compared to reposting when you don’t bother explaining the work or mentioning the artist in your caption (hopefully you do have a caption). At least note down the details before you take that selfie; their work isn’t a mere backdrop for your pictorial.

 

5. Using someone else’s original work as a social media profile photo

First of all, that is not your identity. It’s someone else’s. If you’re a huge fan of the artist, then let them know or credit them before publishing it alongside your name.
