Why register a copyright?
Copyright registration is the first step to protecting your creations. In one minute, you get proof of prior existence recognised in 181 countries.
What is copyright?
Copyright protects works of the mind: texts, images, music, software, designs...
It arises automatically upon creation of the work, without any formalities. No need to register anywhere. You create, you are protected.
So why register it?
If the right exists automatically, why bother? The answer is one word: proof.
In the event of a dispute, it is up to you to prove that you are the original author - and above all that you created the work before anyone else.
Registration creates a timestamped proof
By depositing your work on Copyright01, we calculate a unique digital fingerprint (SHA-256) and timestamp it. This proof attests that you possessed this work at a specific date.
