Copy Shops

With advances in technology, printers and copy shops are increasingly being asked to reproduce a wide range of materials that have been created and produced by others. So it’s essential you understand what is protected by copyright and what is not. Foster copyright awareness within your business and be aware of the options available to you and your clients should clearance for copying be required.

As a business that routinely deals with copyright material it is your responsibility to alert clients to their copyright obligations. You can make ‘Understanding Copyright’ available to them, or display Copyright Notices near photocopiers.

Protect yourself against possible infringement action before doing any copying for your clients by making sure they have appropriate permission to copy from copyright works.

Don’t authorize an infringement by simply turning a blind eye; you could still be liable.
