Understanding copyright significance in the digital age ensures the continued production of high-quality creative works.
The Digital Age of Free Products
The idea of copyright is vanishing from society. The Internet and social media fuel the notion that anything you can click is free. In case you aren’t aware, copyright protection automatically applies to creative works upon their creation. Registering them works boosts the potential damages a copyright owner can claim for infringement.
The most popular shopping marketplace sells the notion of free shipping by charging members an annual fee. It then receives thousands of dollars from each seller wishing to gain the most visibility of their products.
Social media platforms create an illusion of free content. Although some may offer subscriptions, most grant seemingly cost-free access to a wealth of engaging content. Users enjoy all the appealing sights and sounds, not realizing that they are the product. It’s akin to staying in a hotel suite without realizing the hotel records their every move. Then sells it to others.
Social media builds profiles of each user. The sites sell their preferences, interactions, and personal details to advertisers. They, in turn, leverage it to tailor ads that encourage users to spend money. Even with the accessibility of so much “free” content, copyright protection remains crucial. In some cases, subscriptions are the only viable option for work that receives frequent updates.
Consider the example of printed posters. Publishers invest resources to create artwork, print, warehouse, build websites, and promote their products. Yet, some users, request free high-resolution versions. This undermines the value of the work, jeopardizing the livelihood of creators. The nominal per-use fees are limited to hanging on a wall. Consumers who desire a different use with more exposure, such as video production, pay more.
Government-produced posters, funded by tax dollars, may be available for download. So someone still foots the bill. Despite the glitz of the Internet, copyright still matters. Continue to respect the copyrights to ensure the continued production of high-quality and innovative works.
