| Copyright |
Sally Mitchell Fine arts reserves copyright on all of the images displayed on this site. Reproduction of these images in any way constitutes an infringment of this copyright and will result in legal action. The copyright is protected by:
The Copyright, etc. and Trade Marks (Offences and Enforcement) Act 2002.
Berne Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works.
Universal Copyright Convention (UCC), which is administered by UNESCO.
What is Copyright?
Copyright is the legal right that artists and creators have to determine how their works are used or reproduced. The purpose of copyright is twofold. First, it protects the artist's right against piracy or illicit use. Secondly, it provides the economic incentive for artists to create. Copyright provides additional income for artists derived from the reproduction, adaptation, distribution, performance and display of their own work.
When Does Copyright Apply to a Work of Art?
As soon as an artist creates a work of art (painting, sculpture, photography, literature, film, etc.) it is protected by copyright. Artists (or their representatives; Sally Mitchell Fine Arts Ltd in this case) then have the right to determine how a work can be reproduced, and they are entitled to a fee when the work is reproduced. Although copyright laws can vary from country to country, generally the duration of an artist's copyright is 70 years after the death of the artist. After the 70 years expire, the work is no longer under copyright and can be reproduced without any additional clearances or copyright fees. It is considered to be in the public domain. Any artwork created by a living artist or an artist deceased fewer than 70 years is subject to copyright law. As such, the artist or their representative must be contacted for copyright clearance, and they are entitled to royalties.
The work illustrated on this website is protected by the copyright laws. Any infringment will be pursued through the courts.
