Copyright Rules

Copyright rules are laid down in the Copyright Act as this act regulates copyright legislation. Copyright gives the creator of texts, images, videos, logos, designs, source code, software or other original works, bearing the creator’s personal stamp, exclusive rights to publish and reproduce (copy) those works. In principle, the person who has the rights is the maker, but that may also be different. In practice, this means that the copyright holder determines who can use his work under which conditions.

Copyrights on Websites and Software

The copyright rules apply offline (so in documents, books, folders, DVDs, CDs, vinyl and the like) but also online (such as on websites, social media (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn)) and in SaaS applications. For websites and software, for example, it is important that the source code (for websites: HTML, PHP, CSS, javascript and the like) can be protected. The layout of the website may also be protected.

Infringement or Exception?

The legislation sets the rules when exactly there is a copyright infringement. However, the Copyright Act also contains exceptions. In some cases, copyright-protected works can, therefore, be used without infringement. This includes, in particular, the right to quote or normal use by a lawful acquirer of software.
